We have a Hyundai Santa Fe 4 WD. The transfer case has a seal leak in it. How bad is that? What does that affect?

The leak itself does not cause for concern but it can contaminate wirings, sensors etc. The thing of most concern is that when left unattended for extended periods, the leak would increase and fluids would be depeleted which can cause the transfer case to be damaged.
