Its still better than no oil coming out at all or metal pieces....

Funny story: damaged TC rear output seal while offroading into the badlands 5000km away from my house(summer 1995 4x4 road trip coast to coast and back). I put ATF in a water bottle with a pull out cap to top up the transfer case until I could get to the nearest part store to get a seal but I accidentally twisted the bottle while filling up and the little white cap fell inside the TC. FFFFUUUUCCCCKKKKK.. Anyway, I figured.. Plastic "Ill open the TC when I get back home". The trip was over a month long. Went off roading in the rockies and multiple other places on the way back to Halifax in Canada and the US. Or course I replaced the seal at the next part store.. I got home and forgot about it. About 5 years later, I figured it was time to change fluids. When I pulled the drain plug, the plastic cap came out. Id didn't have a single scratch other than teeth marks from when my kid drank the water. Way to go ATF...

true story..

PS I now have a very very big syringe for those jobs in my tool box.. Its slow but it makes no messes and it works.
