I was in a pull this past weekend and seem to have cracked my transfer case. The crack is horizontal and about an inch long. It's located on a flat surface between the detent spring bolt and the shifter. The case seems to work just fine. I only noticed the crack after the pull when I was trying to determine why I was leaking oil. The edges of the crack are perfectly in line, it's just a hair line crack. Sorry, don't have a pic. I tried searching for an image on-line and couldn't find the right view. Any idea why the case may have cracked? It's a mystery to every that I've asked!
 
most likely, your chain has stretched and slapped the case inside causing it to crack.
 
Ok, but the crack is several inches in front of the chain. It's below the shift arm.
