1. Make sure the transfer case isn't leaking. If it is, replace the yolk on the driveshaft.

2. Replace all fluids. Redline MTL/MT-90 mix in the tranny (personal opinion). 75W-90 in the transfer case/rear diff.

3. Check for any extreme drivetrain slack.

In most cases, these car have taken abuse. Just fix them as you go.

there is some grease build up on the exaust.
it's an aftermarket cat-back.. anyways,

it has some build up where the exaust is closest to the rear diff.

is the diff leaking maybe??
would it spray on to the exaust like that?...
or could it just be blackened from heat??.
