The transfer case is soaked with something. This looks expensive and it makes me sad.
Who woulda thought an old ass truck would have problems? Ha.

Transfer cases are pretty easy to remove and disassemble, so replacing a seal could be done with a friend and a few beers.

But since his name is Mazda308, it’s a new Apex Seal he needs... thus he’ll have to order a new powertrain...

Bah, it’s just a leak. S10’s are fun to work on. I’d use a transmission jack or motorcycle jack to remove the transfer case. Not sure if you have to remove the transmission too. Mines 2WD.

The main issue is being a “spare” vehicle, there aren’t a lot of funds allocated to it. And by “not a lot”, I mean close to zero. Hopefully it's not a huge deal.

I doubt it will be an expensive fix. $10 for a gasket or sealant. Also replace the gear case oil inside. Just time consuming if you want to repair it yourself.

I can spare time a lot more easily than I can spare money. :-)

Read the manual. Or look it up.
Jeep transfer cases take ATF fluid, not gear oil and such.
Probably just a seal, search YouTube for what you have & description of what you want done. There is usually that stuff on there for older cars.
