hey all new TJ owner and I just noticed manual transmission fluid all over the top of the transfer case and down the sides of the transmission. I pulled the plate inside of the cab and noticed there was a lot of fluid on the shifter tower. I pulled the inner boot off and there was about a half inch of sitting fluid.

Has anyone experienced this before? I don’t want to just throw money at it until I figure it out. I changed the fluid about a month ago and filled it with two quarts of royal purple.
 
As far as I could find for info it showed it holding around 2.0 quarts. It didn't pour out until 2 quarts and I was under the impression it was like other manual gear items, where it is filled until it comes out the fill plug.
