Make sure to get the correct Mitsubishi fluid as stated above.

The reservoir is the one on the front driver's side of the car. There is a min/max line and the fluid is red.

Did you just do a clutch install? Was the ACD bolt on the transfer case torqued to the correct spec?

Yea, you need to get some more fluid in there.

Start following the lines and see if there are any visible leaks. Check on the top of the transfer case where the line goes and see if it is leaking there.

Did you do a clutch recently or have any of the lines disconnected?

Russel for the other trans fluids, will 1 Gallon of Diaqueen 75w85 and 1 gallon of LSD SAE 90 cover an entire flush, or is more needed?

make sure your checking it when the car is cold and not been started in a while. while its running it will suck fluid down and look like its low.....
