Default Front axle disconnect leaking

Hello I have ranger with a cherokee dana 30 front. It is leaking gear oil from the manual front axle disconnect. It seems to be leaking from the end where the two metal prongs are. I already tried tightening it. I couldnt really find the part anywhere if anyone has dealt with this Id appreciate the help.

That's the shift fork seal. It's a common leak point. You can't fix it by tightening.

You need a shift fork seal and shift fork seat kit. The part is often Dorman 600-501. You'll have to pull the disconnect assembly out to replace them. It's a bit of a job, but it's the only way to stop that leak.

Are these the correct parts?
