I was under my jeep, replacing my cps (PITA!), and i noticed my front diff. was leaking gear oil where the front drive shaft goes into the front diff.
Does any one else have this problem or know any way to fix it cause it just keeps getting worse and worse and sooner or later i am going to run out of gear oil. I have a 2000 cherokee sport with a d30 up front i think.

 

Snap a pic!

upload it to mageshack or somethign then click the little image icon and put the hyperlink in there.

deff your pinion seal , replace it there really cheap and quite easy

 

yup. pinion seal needs to be replaced.

 

how hard is that going to be. I am trying not to use 4 wheel drive while its like this.

 

take out the drive shaft, take off the nut thats under it, pull off the yoke, pop out the seal, pop in the new one, put it back together, its not too bad.

 

Yup pinion all the way. Exactly what xjkid said. unhook driveshaft by the nut then pop the seal out.

 

that dont sound to hard at all. thanks for the help. i trying to get all this little stuff out the way befor i start putting all the fun stuff on the jeep

 

no problem. i had to do the same to mine. almost ready for the fun stuff at this point, haha.
