If you are talking about a vehicle caught in a flood, like in a
hurricane, then it will be filled with silt, too. Take it a part even if
it's just water as it mixes with oil and sticks to the sides and will
not drain: http://www.----------.com/temp/water.jpg If the water has
been sitting in there a year, it's junk!

Oil looks slightly off color, not milky or dirty, just kinda off
color.. I'm going to pull it off and take a better look at it and have
a few mechanic friends give me their opinion.

Water is really obvious. Your descriptions sounds good. Water falls to
the bottom so a clear stream will come out if the t-case was filled or
got any in. If it gets mixed in too, the oil goes like a milkshake
consistency.
