Driveshaft falling off
I have a SYE on my transfer case that looks like it was leaking fluid. Noticed a GUIs leak yesterday. Never have seen fresh fluid under the car before. I was driving down the road yesterday and I think my transfer case completely ran out of fluid and locked up. The resulting factor was my driveshaft shearing the four bolts and falling off and hitting another car. My question is what kind of damage could I possibly be looking at? I know I need to most likely get a new transfer case and driveshaft. What about damage to the rear axle due to sudden stop? Anything for the front driveshaft? I have never seen/ heard that happening, so I just really do not know what to expect.
Thanks in advance!

Welp, it's quite difficult to tell you what's wrong without seeing the vehicle...
You know you need a T-case.
Probably a drive shaft.
The rear axle should be fine if the yoke is ok.
