Transfer case over full

Transfer case over full
Hello, this is my first post on this forum. Thanks in advance!
I have a 06 H2 with 94,000 miles. My problem stared within the last few weeks. While passing on the highway, the truck started dropping down a gear and back up 2 or 3 times during the pass. It doesn’t happen all the time but started to increase in frequency.
I checked the transmission fluid level and found it was low. Not registering on the dip stick. So I decided to change the fluid and filter. No problems there. So, I figured I would change the transfer case fluid as well. When I removed the FILL Plug, fluid started rushing out. By the time it stopped flowing from the FILL hole, two quarts had drained. I then drained the balance from the Drain hole which had another quart and a half.
Why would there be so much fluid in the transfer case? Could it be coming from the transmission? Do I have a serious problem?

Thanks for the response. How ever there is a bit of confusion.
Once two quarts drained from the fill hole, there was in fact the required 1 1/2 quarts still in the transfer case. I'm trying to figure out where the additional 2 quarts came from and what problems i may have.
I might note that since I posted, I filled TC with required 1 1/2 quarts and completed the trans filter and fluid change. Truck runs great now...however am i going to have this problem again?
