Hi Colinvic1,
I would recommend Matt at Total Traction Drivelines. He sorted out my 80 series really well. Kept breaking diffs, and none since he fixed it.
Really knowledgable bloke and very friendly and easy going. Will take the time to listen to your problem.
Cant say he is cheap, but quality work doesnt come cheap, and it will probably be the last time you need to get it fixed.
Not related and not business partner, just happy customer. And I could tell you of at least 2 or 3 other happy customers I know.

He is in Moorabin 03 9555 1501

Hope it helps,
Cheers,
Shaggy

g,day coln , i too have a similar age troopy that had the oil draining into the transfere case , the reason for this is the drive gear from the box to drive the transfere case wears the internal spline , and as a result gearbox oil drains down the spline into the t/case and eventually spits out the breather of the t/case as it is overfull.the worn drive gear or maybe just low gearbox oil level may be giveing you the noise, there is an after market extended drive gear available which runs on the unworn part of the spline, this modification is only suitable if you do not run a pto winch as you will need to remove drive gear ,spacers etc , all bits are available at don kyatts hope this helps dave

Hi Colin
Three things come to my mind.
1; Bent or distorted clutch plate
2; Miss alignment between gearbox and bell housing.
3; Lay shaft and or lay shaft bearings damaged or worn, the lay shaft is spinning the fastest in low and second gears
