Transfer case seal is on high end of DIY skills requirement and you might need some special tools.
So depends how you feel about taking your time and getting the tools, you can consider a shop.
Sounds like you lost oil from TC, so don't drive the car now.

Conclusion
hi so for everyone that ever does have this issue I ended up going to Mercedes and the issue was oil pan so the drive shaft for drivers front tire goes through the oil pan with bearings on each end
so I was quoted 2000$ for the job
the pop I heard on the highway was the shaft bearing and then because I kept driving the shaft was slightly bouncing around inside the tunnel that it goes through the oil pan and caused a crack so the black oil leaking out was engine oil
also to every one else trust eventually reaches 350k plus kms those shaft bears go bad and should be a maintenance thing for high millage
