I don't know what year your blazer is, but on my '98 the fill hole on the t-case is above the drain hole (if my memory serves me right). I had to check to see if my t-case was overfilled with tranny fluid because of a bad input seal.

Yeah its about 4" above the drain hole on my 95. Make sure you can get the fill plug out before you drain it and then find out the fill plug is rusted in there.

Yep, it'll be just above the drain plug.

*EDIT* - THIS POST shows a non-oriented view of the back of the transfer case. The vertical orientation would be from the center of the picture towards the upper right corner. The drain and fill plugs are practically aligned vertically. The drain being the plug to the lower left and the fill being in the center of the picture.

Crap... Didn't see your reply when I editted this (had it open too long I guess).
