Thanks Dwight. I got a chance to crawl under the truck this morning and it's
the transfer case that's blowing oil and not the rearend! I couldn't believe it
as the whole rear axle is coated and the tailgate/cap rear window is also coated
with a thin film of oil... It's definitely ATF fluid though and the pressure
release button on my T-Case is gone (blown off, I guess). The ATF just traveled
down the drive shaft and soaked everything as it spun.
I'm not sure which is worse, T-Case or rearend problems but at least I don't
have to worry about the wheels coming off --for now anyway! Anyone else having
problems with their NV-242 not being able to hold it's ATF?
Tom
Back to square one --in Boston.

If it is the seals that also means your shoes will need
replacing too. When mine went at 147k. (only one side went)
the bearings weren't bad, which unlike the Fords, are
pressed into the housing, but I replaced them on both sides
anyway.
You might want to check the seal in front of the
differential as well.
