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? |

autozone is usually your best bet, your axle is fine, those seals can be damaged easily, sloppy install or removal of the axles usually is all it takes, just keep up on your fluid levels so u dnt blow your tranny.
