Ok so I have drove my car twice in 3 months about 3 miles to test my new wastegate.
So I have the weird noise I thought maybe my flex plate was coming loose. It was a slight growling sound anytime the gas pedal was even slightly pressed. Other then that car drives fine.
Today I have not driven the car in a few days and I have a massive leak I think from the transfercase. I have just recently changed the seals in the case and replace the yoke. Any ideas what this would be from? Trans looks to be still full. See pics

With a picture of the floor, it is hard to tell what is leaking. I suppose you could jack up the car and check. Gear oil from the transfer case has quite a unique smell to it compared to auto trans fluid. If I had to venture a guess, it would be from the trans as it looks to be too much fluid to be from the transfer case.
 
BTW it wicked along the ground makes me believe it's thin fluid like ATF as well.
 
Ok well now that the hurricane is gone I got to pull my car out. It has like a hair line Crack in the case any ideas on how to fix it? It's along the factory seam.
