  • Front axle seals

    Will front axle seals leak fluid if I over fill the differential. I never had a leak before I overfilled my differential, now Im getting fluid all over the two front tires. Wondering should I drain some fluid out or does this mean I should replace the seals.

    Probably need new seals. They shouldn’t leak if you slightly overfilled it. It’d be ok to try draining it, and see if it works. -Rick

      Ok I'll drain some fluid and see if that helps, if not it new seals.
      thanks for the reply

        Overfilling the diff should not cause any leaks in the axle seals, but leaking seals are pretty common. How many miles?

          Approx 6 years. Soon as the weather gets better here I thought Id replace those outer seals.
