Default Transfer case noise(not the chain...)

ok so i have a 95 XJ automatic NP231 transfer case and i replaced the chain probably 3 or 4 months ago. and no i was driving the other day and i noticed a clicking. ive also noticed that my TC has been leaking since i did the chain and i just dont feel like redoing the gaskets. so i keep filling it.

but now i noticed if i come down my hill in neutral and listen you can hear a clicking noise. i checked my back u-joints theyre both still good. the fronts i didnt check but they seem ok. when i did the chain i noticed that the front output shaft bearing had up and down play but it wasnt an incredible amount.

also i had done my transfer case mount after that because it collapsed. now i had a driveline vibe at like 65-70 that was when i did my bad back u joint though. so now im at a lose

so heres my question could it be that bearing? could it be the back out put shaft bearing?
