Transfer case oil leaking @ the front output.

So after replacing oil seals in my new transfer case, it's still leaking. It looks like it's comming out between the dust covers on the front output, but after reading some of the other threads it maybe a welch plug. Now the other threads were more about the rear, but does the front shaft have a plug in behind the uni joint the same as the back?
Or is there something else i'm missing?
Any help is appreciated as it's really annoying me.

Yes mate the front slip yoke indeed has the welch plug - that's where the leak will be coming from.
About $120 new from Mitsu for a front slip yoke or pull your old one out remove the plug and fill in with epoxy resin.
I did this on the front and rear slip yokes (after replacing the oil seals) and noticed they were still leaking (internally) and never had a problem in 3 years.
