Just had a quick check, 3 leaks in total

1 loose oil filter - buy a spanner
1 weeping ACE block - in hand, waiting for modded exchange valve block
1 drip from bottom of transfer box

Where do transfer boxes tend to leak from mainly and how easy to repair?

This link shows the points liable to leak. As for "how easy to repair" that will depend on the facilities and skills available.

its rare input seal leaks, more often its the intermediate shaft but because of its position it can look like input seal

Looks like a job for the summer then.

Waiting for a dry day to do the front hub and seal.

Then I have a ACE block swap.

Can you change seals in situ or do you need to drop the box?

Mine is auto and CDL
