When ever i turn i can hear the front differential making a clicking noise. I have noticed that it's leaking out near the drive shaft as well. I checked the fluid level and the levels appear to be just fine. I do not know much about differentials and was just wondering what is the likely cause of this.
Thanks,
Zach
