I have a fluid, looks like 2 stroke oil, leaking from near the transfer case shift encoder motor. Ideas anyone?

Have any fluids been topped up recently?
There are vent hoses for the Tcase and the Transmission that are clipped up above in that area. One of them may be misting off excess. Or just misting off condensation. Cold weather, short drives, allows some build up of moisture. Then a longer drive that really warms things up will vent off.

Hope that helps!

If its pink, like two stroke oil. Its tranny fluid, which is used in both the transfer case, and of course the tranny.
