HELP -- Oil on Transfer Case / Front Diff.
I have a IX MR with ~9500 miles with just slight mods -- TBE and tune (and increased boost). I have noticed that there is a black oil film on my differential (right behind the oil pan), but no spots on the garage floor. My engine oil seems to be fine, although if this were a super small leak I may not notice as I change my oil every 3 - 4K miles. Any idea where this oil could be coming from and is this a common problem? Thanks in advance.

I just fixed a similar problem on my 03 VIII. There wasn't enough to drip on the ground but the back of the motor was wet. Ended up replacing my headgasket, as it was leaking from the back side.
