NV271 transfer case fluid leak

I am getting ready to tow my travel trailer on vacation from NY to FL in a few days, I was checking all my fluids only to find than the transfer case is low or empty and there is oil slung all over the underside of the truck. The oil was by the rear extension housing of the transfercase, the dust boot is dry rotted and cracked and I assume the seal is shot. My Question is the extension housing filled with fluid? Or is there another seal at the rear housing that may be leaking too? I am going to the dealer tomorrow to see if they can fix it ASAP, if not I need to get the parts to do it myself and I need all the help I can get. Does any one know the part numbers to the boot and the seal or seals? I looked at the Manual and it does not look to hard to replace. I f I do not get it fixed by Wednesday it looks like the family vacation will be canceled. I thank all those who reply, Pete (not a Happy Camper)
