Default Transfercase leak

Ey guys I just took my Jeep to get inspected today it just needs the muffle to pass but they did point out my T-case is leaking. I was wondering what was the best inexpensive way to fix a T-case leak?
Oh and its Quadratrac.
Thanks guys

Buy good seals... grease them up good before installing, and use red or blue sealer around the outside of the seal , Oh and buy two incase you mess one up on the first try.. Better to take one back then try to install a bad one that will leak.. also change the fluid while your at it... will use about 1 1/2 qts...fill to botton of hole reinstall plug. goood to go..
