I had my axles replaced (front) last week and finally got the car back on Wednesday. Well I drove home and parked it for the night. Drove to work next morning and parked (about a 45 min ride one way). When I got out of work I moved my car and noticed a good size leak (about a 1/4 cup) on the ground. Drove the car home and saw another leak forming when I parked it. I got it up on jacks and noticed the axle seal was drenched and srayed oil all over the place. I drove the car back to the mechanics for repair which they said it was in fact the axle seal (block side).
Question - Did I do any damage to my new axle??? from the leak? |

Just to make you feel better.... I swapped in my new axle last weekend. Drove around all week, only to find a very similar oil leak coming from my axle seal and my tranny making funny noises.!
FML You didnt damage your axle. Its just the seal inside that needs to be replaced. This post has been edited by lagos: Apr 5, 2009 - 9:57 AM -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
