you can replace two seals if you drop the transfer case. One in the tranny and the other in the Xfer case.
Toyota coolant is red, power steering fluid is red and transmission fluid is red. Do some more troubleshooting and be absolutely sure where the leak is coming from.

Sounds like the rear seal of the tranny...the location seems to indicate that it would not be the others since they don't run that far back before pooling (usually).
The t-case uses gear oil, so unless there is a mix that seal is intact...but might be a good PM thing to get it while you are in there. You should be able to drop the front and rear shafts, the t-case, and get at the seal without dropping the whole tranny.
May be less comfortable, but less work too!
