the input seal to the transfer case may have been damaged on installation, seeing that its a used unit seals may have been worn and should have been replaced befor install
There is a gasket on the mating faces, this would appear to have failed. get it replaced before your fluid is gone. It could be a failed transfer box, but I can't be sure from your description. Get it looked at by a professional.
A turbocharger can leak. Some of the gaskets might be shot and need to be replaced or a hose might need to be replaced. If the turbocharger itself is leaking and not a gasket then the turbo housing is probably cracked. If you get the turbocharger replaced it should last a good 20 years or so. The only thing that usually wears out on turbochargers are gaskets and thrust bearings.
Transmission output seal or Transfer case input seal is what you are looking for depending on which is leaking. You will need to separate the two to see. Many times you can buy a gasket kit for this job that has both.
I assume this is a truck, you will need to remove the driveshaft and then remove the bolts holding the transfer case to trany, theres a gasket that goes there but the real problem is the seal, once you remove the transfer case look inside the rear of the trany you will see a seal that seals that shaft replace that seal there should not be any oil in that space, hope this helps.
You have to pull out the rear drive shaft and then unbolt the transfer case. Unhook the wiring and front driveshaft and pull the case off the transmission. Then change the gasket and reinstall.
The radiator has a transmission and engine oil cooler lines to it too. One of the oil lines are leaking, if you know which one that's have the battle. I believe the transmission line is on the passenger sides and the oil cooler line is on the drivers side. Look at where the lines connect to the radiator and see if there is signs of the leak. You may need to spray it down with brake cleaner if you not sure if it's a new leak or old leak from the accident.
Good luck and hope this helps. And what do you mean by rear case gasket?? You mean the gasket that connects the transmission to the transfer case, or the rear O ring yoke gasket.
You mean between the case halves? It is just silicon, no gasket. These are good for the pump wearing a hole in the rear housing and leaking oil. The cure for it is a new rear housing and a piece called a case saver that keeps the pump from doing it again. Taking the transfer case apart to fix it is easy, I can tell you how to do it.
First of all yes it will damage the transfer case with no oil in it or even low oil. if it is just a seal then it is easy to replace, but if it means splitting the transfer case this is not a job for the diy, unless you have experience with transmissions or transfer cases. It should not be too expensive to have the work done by a profesional. Which also give you a warranty.
