Alright guys i have been noticing this puddle of fluid all around my driver's side front tire and it looks like it could be coming from the axel im pretty sure it's gear oil but everytime i check the diff. fluid its seems to be full.....It happened a while back and then i changed the diff. fluid a couple of weeks ago and it just started this again any help or suggestions?!?!?!

Thanks in advance.......

 

P/S pump?

 

gear oil has a smell that is hard to mistake......since fluid is checked with a finger there is a high chance a slight change is level will be missed untill it is vey low. check brake fluid also.

 

is there a spot in your driveway? if so your jeep is just marking it's territory

---the above stated is in fact a jeep joke. if you dont like it get---

 

More like a bunch of spots in the driveway i'd say it marked it's territory on more then one occasion lol.....

 

check brake fluid...

 

Sounds like driver's side axle seal could be leaking. Driver's side front brake caliper could be leaking, too. I actually get driver's side oil leakage out of my air intake filter after long road trips.

 

i say check the brakes cause i busted a caliper today on my pass side... but i didnt know till i got to the stop sign... thatll scare the poop out of ya...

 

if you just changed the axle fluid then you refilled it to the leaking point again. Just change the seal.

 

I think he would have noticed spongy brakes by now. He said it has done it for a while.

 

How hard is it to change the seal and where is it located?!?!

Sorry but i just never changed a axle seal before......

 

i changed mine on the driver side and ended up taking the whole axle apart and the seal is on the driver side of the diff

 

yep. my jeep dont like no foreigners parking in her space..which is literally a jeep parking space cuz its on a big bump of dirt and mud under a tree NEXT to the actual driveway haha. my wifes dodge stratus gets stuck there everytime she steals my spot

 

i would have thought so too... but mine went with no warning... slowed down cause a car turned in front of me and i guess it popped then... then sped up and got to the sign to slow down and it didnt... no Ebrake either.. had to down shift real fast like crazy tires barking and sliding all over the place... lol... it was a stop sign for a 4 lane highway too!
