Transfer box oil leak

My X3 is going in soon to have the transfer box oil seals replaced as I have a leak. I expect such a leak is rare occurrence, probably just bad luck on my behalf. Anyone else had similar issues?

Build was August 2011 (could have been late July, I forget). The car's only done 7,000 miles.

Transfer box is a well known weak link according to my local indy.
