I have a splined output shaft from the Tcase, I don't see it going
anywhere anytime soon.

Where again will the fluid come out? The middle of the output shaft,
or what? I had no fluid come out, nor will the output move.

When you pull the slip yoke, fluid can come out around the splined
output shaft. If you park it facing slightly down hill, you won't lose
more than a few drops when the slip yoke comes out. Then clamp on a cap
and you're good to go.
