SP III goes down quick? need support

this is a 2005 VIII 5spds
dont know why the sp3 fluid goes down so quick take a drive to the corner haft of the sp3 is gone i refill it and still goes down.
mitsu dealer told me that need to do bleeding with a machine.
But my mechanics says he did. after the bleeding is done is still got the same problem.
i have already use 3 bottle of sp3 and still getting the same problem.
my 3 lights turn on when the fluid is low. ( tarmac, snow, gravel)
does any one know how does the pump the one that pump the sp3 fluids works?

It might not leak when the car is sitting. Check for fluid by the outside axle.

Possibly the clutch pack piston seal inside the transfercase. Check to see if the transfer case is now overfull. This part is not available from Mitsubishi, so good luck.

Get a second opinion before you commit to a big job. Confirm that the ATF is actually leaking into the transfer and mixing with the LS90.
Grab the piston assembly out of someones whining Transfercase.
