transmission / transfer case question

Hi, I just bought a 1990 pickup22 re 5 speed4x4. My question is can the lube from tcase work its way into the transmission ? I was going over it today for the first time, the transmission had wayyyy too much fluid in it, the tcase none. Is there a seal of some kind between them?

The poor truck has been beat pretty hard but I hope to fix it up some for a dd.

I'm in need of a exhaust manifold if anytime.knows of one for sale ???


Thanks Tim

Yes there's a seal, they don't share the gear oil.
