I did not have a drop of oil under mine, but I had an issue with my automatic, the rear portion of the housing that the case bolts to, snapped off completely because the tranny shop was lazy and had not tightened up the bolts properly.

The t-case has (or should have) ATF in it.
Is your leak thin, red oil?

The seal between the trans and transfer case may be out allowing fluid transfer between the units. Check transmission fluid level.

to illflem, are we talking motor oil, or gear oil/ATF?
can you give an exact location of where it's comin from?

what about rear main seal? I don't know much about the driveline/lower engine area of these things. The normal drop or 2 was probably from the CCV (Crankcase Vent).

Start checking oil levels in engine, trans and t-case. If you got a bad leak one of them should be low or getting low. Once you find it, fill it, clean it and get it fixed ASAP or face some major repair bills.
