Transmission & T-case Leak

Got a 2000 4runner 5spd with the r150F transmission. I've attached the photos I took below.

I'll start off with the transfer case leak since I think it's much more manageable to fix by myself and just wanted second opinions. From what I've seen with others, often times the transfer case shifter just needs to be snugged down, and I'll go ahead and probably swap out the oil deflector gasket that it sits on while I'm at it. Just curious if a leak this big/this much oil in the photos matches up with just a like there. It also look like there could be a leaky seal that connects to the prop shaft, so may be 2 separate things.


For the transmission, it appears the front is leaking and I'm thinking I'll have to go to a shop to get it fixed. Any idea what price range that repair runs? Just checking to see if my guess that the transmission is leaking is right and hoping that I'm wrong and someone points out a simple 5-minute fix but yup, just looking for some thoughts. Anyone know of a good shop in Dallas to take this issue to?

Had trouble getting the photos in here so linked to imgur

Looking like coming from the top. There are videos on you tube to show you how to replace the gaskets on top if you want to tackle it yourself. I do my mostly all my own work so I am not sure what the costs would be. :-)

Yea that looks like it's coming from the top. I just got a 2000 Limited and it had a tcase leak. Looked the same. When I pulled out the shifter assembly a bolt was missing from the tcase shifter plate and the bolt hole was full of fluid so that was for sure my leak. I just followed Tim's video on it and replaced the gaskets along with the tcase shifter seat and transmission shifter bushings. Feels great now and hopefully shouldn't leak anymore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCHSRcq-LP8

The shifter gasket leaks can make a big mess over time. There is a good picture in this thread Fixing 5 speed shifter leakage

For the oil at the bell housing, I would be looking to see if it is coming from the engine valve cover gaskets.

I'd second this one. Valve cover leaks for the 'front' leak, shifter (either 4WD or trans or both) for the 'top' leak. There may also be a front output pinion seal leak there too. All of these fixes can be done with the engine/trans in place.
