Cleaning out old transfer case oil??

I bought a used transfer case off eBay and all seems to be in great shape. All the bearings are tight and it spins real nice. But it smells awful and I want to clean out all the old oil that's in it.

I don't really want to open up case I don't think the gasket is readily available. Is there something I can run threw it to clean it out?

Also what do you guys run in your transfer case? I've seen guys fill them with marine grease.

you could even run reg motor oil in there if you did not have any gear oil ?, as this has no clutch to worry about, just gears and bearings, no clutches. JUST DONT RUN AUTO OIL IN THE MOTOR !!...LOL.
