    Had this replaced back in August. Saw a wet spot on my drive way and that’s when I saw this. IMG_5914.jpg

    That's your transfer case 4WD actuator. So no. Not transmission fluid.

    The t case fluid flows into the actuator to help keep it lubed, the screws holding the triangle plate might be loose, give em a snugging up with a PH4(?) and plastic cover
