So my wheels are turned to the right today, and I noticed a orange sized oil puddle by the tire (right side). I think it's a seal, the Advanced Auto guy thinks it's a seal...My Haynes manual doesn't go into detail about changing it. Can anyone hook me up with a link or pictures on how to change it? It did this once before (about 2 weeks ago) and since then I've tried to repeat the situation and today it finally did it...Any help will be greatly appreciated...

 

it my be from the brake caliper look if its inside the rim as well

 

Could be a brake line...
I would check the caliper and lines leading to it, check your brake fluid too.
I would also pull the plug out of your front diff and see how much fluid is in there so you dont run it dry, incase it is from the axle seal.
IIRC, axle seals are a pita to replace.

 

I checked the caliper and it was clear...you can see that it's coming out of the axle housing...I would like to know what tools and/or special tools that I'll need to replace the seal...Any ideas?

 

A couple Writeups I found...

Yeah, It's an inner passenger side seal...I checked the diff oil and brake fluid the same day. The brake fluid was good, but the diff oil seemed a little low, so I filled it to specs and a week later, I get this leak...How long can I go until it starts causing trouble??? If I keep checking and filling the diff, will it last a little longer? The reason I ask is, my job requires me to be in the woods for days (up to 7) at a time...And I live about 66 highway miles from work. I figure you guys will tell me, "The sooner the better", but unfortunately, I ain't got the luxury...Thanks again for any help.
