Likely the TC case center shaft o-ring - do a search and you should get plenty of info.

Also check that the breather tube (thin black plastic) in the engine compartment (passenger side rear) is not melted closed. There are two in that area, one for the transfer case and one for the transmission.

Is it a difficult job or its okay bc i can imagine you will have to take the whole tranfser case out. Also i have a leak at was seems to be where the engine meets the transmission ofcourse im not sure bc the oil collects to one point..

I have a TC leak too and just wipe it clean from time to time. As long as it doesn't make a mess on the driveway it's not worth the effort to replace that seal. I check the oil level from time to time and I add some if needed. Last time I added 3 ounces after 20k miles.

Unfortionally mine has a decent size of pooling underneath it so i think i'm obligated to fix it....

Torque Converter to front pump seal or leaking converter. The fluid on your pictures is red so it is transmission fluid. Take off the little inspection plate on the bottom of the bell housing and see if transmission fluid comes out. If so it is that seal or the torque converter leaking. That will necessitate a transmission and transfer case removal and repair of the seal and or torque converter. I'm in the middle of the same repair. I replaced that front pump seal and it's still leaking so now I have to take it back out and pressure test my torque converter.

I went under my car again... And i still have no clue what to fix to get rid of these leaks.. I checked my breather tubes which already seemed to be rerouted. I let the car run and then there is no leakage and when i turn it off still nothing but over the case of some hours or days the oil will reappear on the same places. The pictures above are only engine oil leakages bc its a deep black color but the pictures at the beginning of the post are for sure transmission oil seeing that its a reddish colour. I am out of ideas now..
