Just out of interest, what oil are you other 'weepers' using in gearbox & transfer case?
I'm using Penrite's 75w85 'Pro, full synthetic, which is fairly thin & 'runny' even when cold.

Not a good idea to mix oils. Just replaced clutch and changed manual gearbox & transfer oils, used as recommended by Penrite_Pro Gear 75W-85 Full Syn.
Weep should be fine, you were working it hard by the sounds of it. Just carry a tub of oil and with a bit more dust all should be good.

Mine had the original factory fluid in it when I first discovered the leak while doing the 40k service. I drained 5 litres from the auto and topped it up with Castrol Transmax Multi-vehicle, and I also used the same Castrol fluid when I changed the transfer case fluid at the same time. Mine has no visible leak now as shown in the below pic, so I guess it's possible the old fluid was getting a bit thin in the transfer case?

My trol is having leaks too and I observed it started when I had the transmission oil changed. I think I have to buy gear oil from nissan. MT btw.
