    Leaking Oil Seals

    Leaking Oil Seals

    If your differential/rear axle/gearbox oil seals are leaking, the seals themselves may not be at fault. A plugged breather may be causing pressure build-up within the unit, forcing oil past the seals. Locate the breather, clean around it, and remove it from the case. Clean the breather thoroughly, ensuring that it is not plugged, and re-install it.
