Gearbox/transfer box oil change

Does anyone know off the top of their head if the gearbox and transfer box share oil? Or will I have to drain and fill each seperately?

And the oil capacity of each/combined unit? Normal 2wd box is 2.5l I think.

Just trying to work out how much gear oil I need to buy.

Finally does anyone have a part number for the oil seal at the end of the transfer box?

Is the oil seal that you want the one before the propshaft?

No, looks to be leaking from between the transfer box and the bit where the inner cv attaches to. Thanks for the link to your post above, wish I had read before changing oil! I left the drain plug on the transfer box in place as I couldn't see a filler and didn't want to risk not being able to fill it again.. However I still managed to get about 2.7 litres in.
