You have bigger fish to fry right now.

But, when you get a chance you may want to consider whether water entered your drivetrain.

This can happen if the differential, and the transfer case if you have one, are hot and water is above the breather. The sudden cooling causes a vacuum that sucks water in. Off roaders often have breather extension kits installed to prevent this.

If water has entered, you should drain and refill. Maybe even flush.
