Default Help me identify tranny leak (WITH PICS THIS TIME!)

So I asked this question earlier, but I couldn't take pics of the leak because my tc was still installed. I dropped the tc again to get a good look at the leak and just want to make sure I'm going in the right direction. From the pics, does it look like my rear output seal is SOL? Also, to get to the seal, do I have to take the tranny to tc adapter off first? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Also, there is a pic of the cracked tc that I just removed.

certainly looks like the seal is leaking. get a seal puller from the parts store, wont have to remove the adapter, OR remove the adapter, and use a flathead screwdriver to pry it our. i doubt you'll be able to get enough leverage with the adapter still installed to use a screwdriver.

So, you ran your transfer case out of fluid and it blew up?

Ok great. So keep the adapter and pull then pull the seal from the adapter so I can gain access to the tranny seal?

I bought the jeep this way for $800 for a 1999. The lady blew up her front driveshaft at 80mph and didn't stop even with all of the vibes so naturally the tc blew up

My other question is what the first rubber seal I see on the adapter is. Does this seal need to be pulled to gain access to the tranny seal? I just don't want to start pulling seals if I don't really know what im doing, do thank you all for your help.
