even if the transfercase fluid did come out, all you would need to is cover the output housing with a plastic bottle or bag.

basically is a none issue now matter what year transfercase you have.

Yes, you will lose some fluid if you have a slip yoke. Top it off.

No, you won't lose the whole fill. Look at the fill plug, look at the bottom of the rear output seal - that should give you an idea
