Milky pink transfer case fluid
I was dropping the tranny with a friend today and when we drained the tranfer case the fluid came out milky pink. Anyone know why this happened?

I'd say that H2O got in there. Looks like my daughter's puppy's barf though.

Redline shockproof for sure.
Water, maybe or maybe not.
