    Wanted to get some opinoins on this. I had the transmission replaced about 2,000 miles ago and i noticed a spot of fluid (red) on the garage floor about the size of a basketball. The shop said they are not sure if its the transmission or the transfer case thats leaking. They said its a big job to remove it to find out whats leaking. They will cover it if its the transmission but if its the transfer case i am resposible. Is the transfer case fluid red? I thougt it was more like motor oil color.

    transfer case oil could be red as some brands of gear oil is red

    Take off fill bolt on t-case

    and stick a Q-tip in and fetch
    some oil, see what color it is. probably honey but double-check

    if it is not red, go get yer tranny fixed again
