    Just got back from doing a 4,000 mile road trip and noticed my transmission or transfer case is leaking fluid. Wondering if it's the transfer case since I did about 100 miles in 4WD in 95f heat. This definitely happened very recently as I had the truck up on a lift about a month ago replacing diff fluid didn't see any leaks. I'm really hoping this will be under warranty. Anyone have any luck with Toyota fixing these kinds of things under warranty? Truck is still under 5 years 60k miles. I haven't had a chance to check the fluid level in the trans or the transfer case yet, I have extra transmission fluid lying around so I could top it off but, don't have any transfercase fluid. How worried should I be about driving it until I can get it in to the dealer?
