I headed under the truck to try and once again get my fuel gauge to work and found the front drive shaft to be wet on the transfer case end and a small puddle under it.

I have not been running in 4WD for weeks and this has only started within the past few days. The truck is a learning project for me and I have not worked on the drive shafts or differentials yet. Any thoughts on what has happened and where I start to get this fixed?

Also, are there any special tools i need to begin working on this? Thanks.

So it's coming from behind the yoke or flange then? There's an output shaft seal that can be changed with the yoke/flange removed.
