Title: front end oil leak
Post by: cmatt1605 on May 28, 2010, 06:05:17 PM

its comming from both ends of the front axle. is this because of the output shaft seal? (what the guy at advance told me to order)

That sounds about right.  I would pick up a knuckle seal kit or a knuckle rebuild kit.

you wouldn't believe how dirty they were. the oil leak+dirt=P.I.T.A to clean. took me about an hour per side just to clean. next investment is going to be a parts cleaner :) maby a sand blaster too
