lift kit causing drive shaft to leak thick oil
I got a 3 inch lift kit put on my jeep the other day and while I was underneath it I noticed that the drive shaft near the front was leaking a really thick oil like substance. It was coming from where the ?yoke? in the front was. I'm not sure what exactly the part is called where it was leaking so i'm just going to say yoke. it's where two pieces intersect to turn like two ppl holding hands LOL sorry about my explanation. Any help would be great! idk if it's a big deal or nothing at all.

Thats normal, its just grease. There should be a zerk fitting around that union you can use a grease gun to put more in there. If its full of grease and you compress the driveshaft, it will squirt out the end like cheese from a can lol
