But today while doing engine oil change, noticed the leak is actually coming from the transfer case. The drain and fill plugs are dry and the leak seem to be coming from the points as depicted in the RealOEM diagram. There're seals in those connection points. Has anyone done this repair?

I did and it wasn't too bad (or fun either) but I had a small crack in the seal that would only leak at certain shaft positions so if your shaft doesn't have any oil stains it's probably the same as mine bit still early on.
Replacement in-situ is doable but plan on making a 4"x4" post cut down and center drilled to make life easier on yourself....
