drive shaft/ transfere case ?

Morning all. I've been having the downshift OD-3-2 clunk (just started@65000mi.) so I decided to pull the Dshaft and lube the yoke. well when I pulled the shaft out I got some fluid but it looked very grey and smelled like 80-90 gear lube. Does the lube from the factory (the teflon stuff) smell like 80-90?(I used some hitemp teflon/silicone from work). I also decided to check the transfere case so I opened up the fill plug and lo and behold I took a bath in brown ATF. The trunk was overfilled by a little over a QT. Truck was level side to side and a little nose down when I checked it. So 2 ?'s
Why would the fluid leaking out the tail shaft smell like 80-90(or 80-140)?
Anybody else's transfere case overfilled from the factory and so filthy brown although it does not smell burned at all.(and 4WD doesn't get used that often)

Ok, thanks for any input. Hey ,go to mediaford.com and see some nice 09 shots!!
