Large tires and lack of steering damping can cause wander. Alignment with bad caster / toe can do weird things too.
Id have it re-aligned and have them inspect the balljoints with a prybar. Also maybe invest in a good dual-damper setup if you run wide tires.
Where is the tcase leaking? at the output shaft? You might need a new seal or speedi-sleeve to cover a groove.
Its normal for a new seal to leak when installed on a grooved shaft.
