Re: Leak in differential Reply #2 – December 18, 2022, 08:19:47 pm The seal is starting to leak. It's not an issue right now but some day it should be changed. The yoke should be checked for play. Should be none. Quote Selected
Re: Leak in differential Reply #3 – December 18, 2022, 08:21:22 pm Like Scott said, as it is it's no problem. It's a shaft seal. Those seals aren't likely to have complete failure at once, rather if it gets worse it will likely be a gradual progression, then change the seal. Quote Selected

Re: Leak in differential Reply #9 – December 19, 2022, 10:34:00 am Those stock arms are quite robust. Seems odd to need more and the problem with alignment seem problematic. Crazy Quote Selected
Re: Leak in differential Reply #10 – December 20, 2022, 10:49:32 pm A mechanic at the cummins truck shop pointed me towards the lucas gear oil 75W-90 because of its seal healing/ no leak property's. tells me it contains additives in the oil. It is not synthetic. I used it in a past in a front wheel hub that was showing signs of leaking at the inner seal and it flat stopped it. If.... its just a tired seal and not a drive line issue, it might be worth a go? Quote Selected
