Now to just figure out where it's coming from in the t-case. You could put some dye in the t-case and use that to try and help diagnose it.

what did you use as a sealant between the two half of cases when putting back together? Had a 231 do that to me once.. didnt happen after we switched to a different sealant. That was 30yrs ago so not sure what we used second time.
The case halves are sealed good, it really seems like it’s coming out through the center of the input shaft. The input shaft seal does not appear to be leaking.
I think that means it’s the needle bearing cup

Not those needle bearings I’m probably using the wrong term. It’s the cup that the main shaft sits in. I can’t think of any other place that would allow it to come through.
Looks like this:

is that the one that is NOT suppose to be seated all the way down? believe your suppose to leave a small gap from bottom. That hole in the case there feeds oil to it on that one.
you do know there is a weep hole at the rear bottom of the Tcase right? It's little deeper in from the bottom Passenger side stud

You are thinking of the caged bearing that sits in the rear case half. This one we’re talking about is in the input gear, where he’s leaking. The pocket bearing could theoretically be hammered all the way through the input gear and out the other side.
I actually emailed Novak to ask them specifically about how far this bearing was supposed to be installed. Ironically, I was worried I was going to fuck it up.
This was their response:
The cup bearing outer edge should be just flush with the bottom of the beveled edge in the gear.
The more I think about it, that bearing was such a tight fit. I can’t imagine How it could’ve possibly leaked there. I will pull the input retainer plate and see what I can see

yeah your right..... brain farted... caged bearing, went inside with the pulling tool to get it out... so duh... could not have been a pocket

Sure as
Sure as shit it’s leaking from the input bearing
I guess I am taking the damn thing apart again. I have a new bearing on the way but not sure exactly when it will be delivered

@NovakConversions if you have any guidance on how I screwed that up and how not to screw it up again I would appreciate it.
