leak near diff/prop shaft connection

Super Werty · Feb 1, 2013

Found a brand new leak...smells like gear lube. What is leaking? Is there a seal in there possibly?

Well there's your pinion Seal, which is the only seal (I believe) that is around there...its a PITA to change out...

but it doesn't really look like the pinion seal is leaking as it the diff doesn't look damp and kevin there really not that bad to change, will try getting another shot but with more of the diff in view

Pinion seal. The only thing back there that holds back gear lube. Mine went out twice, the second time got me a new rear end under warranty.

Pull the driveshaft and check the nut, if they use a crush sleeve instead of a solid sleeve it could just need to be retorqued. If it was loose then re place the seal anyways because its ruined from the loose drive flange.
