2000 Discovery II
182,450 miles
4000 miles since purchase
Transfer case HAS leaked since purchase, topped up ~1000 miles.
Started to whine (heard in the video link below) out of the blue about 5 miles from my house. Only whines in forward gears and whine increases\decreases with RPM. Goes away when switched to neutral. There are about 1100 miles since last check on the TCase. I do not have the tools at the house to check the fluid level today. Sounds like its coming from underneath and center of the truck.
I am pretty sure this is the TCase. My question to you, from the video, has anyone had experience with the SAME whining sound and can confirm?

I have not been doing the work on this vehicle, local garage has been "topping it up" for me every 1000k. I am having trouble finding a local that will even look at it, the nearest dealer is 60 miles away. So, no, I have not drained it, but I did catch a few drops today in a plastic container and there are no metal shavings to the naked eye. It is parked in the driveway until I decide on its fate.
This DII came with no transmission repairs in the history that I have, so its unknown.

I will be breaking out the tools on Saturday and check the TCase myself.
For what its worth, I broke both my hips a couple years back and walking is still a challenge, let alone crawling around the ground wrenching on high-mileage British trucks.
While I enjoy this vehicle, I don't think we are going to be long-term partners.....
Thanks for the help so far guys and by the response I gather you are both thinking the transfer case is the culprit....

Drained about half a quart out. Very dirty. Added 2 full quarts and took it for a drive (2-3 miles)
No change.
The magnet on the drain plug had quite the nice collection though.
Runs fine. Shifts fine. No other noises. Quiet as a mouse at idle. Just that whine while accelerating or cruising. Goes away when I let off the gas or its at idle.
Torque converter?
EDIT: Found a couple threads, same issue, but NO fix.
