The pressure inside the T-case is produced when the mainshaft (the one that runs from the engine to the rear driveshaft is engaged. Which when you put the T-case in neutral, disconnects that and doesn't spin the little pump setup inside.
The bearings don't get oil soaked, but do get pressure fed oil/fluid. When I first pulled my 231 apart I didn't see what looked to be a pump, but when I looked twice I noticed my mainshaft fed fluid to a filter which had a tube that shot fluid at the bearings on the shaft.
