Transfer Case leaks.

Recently changed transfer case fluid on my 2001.I overfilled it and have since developed a leak at the rear seal.Its leaking that reddish fluid at the rear output shaft.In addition there seems to be another leak of a different kind on the bottom of the transfer case near the bottom bolt where the case bolts togeather (a dark oily kind).My questions are,If Im going to replace the rear seal on the transfer case should I replace the Extension Housing Bushing at the same time.
The service manual states that you need to have
special tools to do this removal and installation,your thoughts.Regarding the dark oily leak on the bottom of the transfer case,could this be from the transfer case or some other source.Thanks in advance for any Input,this is a great resource and we appreciate your help.
Thanks
Mike
