dripping - gunna suck to fix

hey guys i just changed my clutch about 540 miles ago and im just now noticing some strange dripping of fluid under my car. its only a few drops, not very much at all.
its coming from between my t-case and transmission.
probably one of the seals?
**** i guess its tranny fluid because its thin and doesnt smeel like the diaqueen.
if you notice, diaqueen fluid is thin and stinks, the fluid leaks feels thin and doesnt seem to smell.

any guesses guys?
and how long can i drive safly like this??

oh and another thing. im hearing a squeaky noise now. it doesnt like a pulley, but goes away when i engage my clutch(press cluytch pedal in). any ideas??

thanks alot guys!

It is probably the o ring between the Trans and tcase starting to go just pop off axels and unbolt tcase and slide it over you should be able to fit your hand up there to Put a new o ring in I always put a tiny tiny dab of rtv on the o ring to help it stay in place i have done it many time never had a problem. Another thing make sure your acd bleed valve is tight it could be dropping acd fluid Hope this helps

Acd bleed valve is on the bottom of a acd tc I would not drive it much I would fix it as soon as I get the chance who knows how long it has been leaking and chance are it leaks more while driving because of the diff and gears spinning churning the oil

Its my daily so I got no choice but to drive it. I'm keeping tabs on it. And I'm gunna go and make both te t-case and tranny if full tomarrow. I'm also keeping tabs on this slight queak that goes away when I push my clutch in. It doesn't do it all the time and when it does, one kick of the clutch it wil stop. Possibly my new t.o.b is going or pilot bearing??
