I noticed a few months ago a very slow leak coming off of my tcase. Pulling out of the parking lot today I noticed a metallic clatter almost like I ran over a few pop cans or something but I could feel it resonate through the car. I pulled over and there was fluid leaking from in between the trans and the tcase. I have also noticed that in the morning when my car is cold, it seems like the car doesnt roll well like someone is pulling the E brake momentarily. I'm guessing this is the tcase wearing. What do yo think?

Also, I have a wanted add for a Tcase just in case it turns out to be it. I'm pulling it tomorrow.
 
The sound was my clutch throwing something around in the bell housing. The fluid is not coming from the t case nor its respective input shaft but rather somewhere else inside the bell housing. Im thing my ### one year old ACT street disc lost one of its springs or something and it knocked a hole in the tranny.
