Poking around the front suspension & found this.
Just got my XJ.
First time jeep owner, so far i love it.
So i was poking around today checking suspension parts/bushings and what not and i came across a fluid leak in the front pass. axle area.
Can someone brief in on what the hell is it, and how to fix.
Also how the hell do you take off this part to replace lower ball joint?
And THANX AGAIN TO THIS WONDERFUL FORUM AND ALL YOU GREAT JEEP OWNERS.

I don't know what Krew was talking about removing your wheel hubs/knuckles with an air chisel, or how this helps to asses the situation, but unless that fluid came from somewhere else and just pooled down there, it definitely looks to be the axle seal at fault, like Xj88 said.. Check the other side in, even if you don't see a leak, it would probably be worthwhile to replace both seals at the same time.
