Final drive leaks

[davidon]

I'm starting to see some gear oil around the joint area of FD and S/A. It seems to happen under load. Is the vent supposed to prevent this or do i have to replace some seals and which ones?

There's an oil seal on the driveshaft and another behind the gear coupling behind the gear coupling in the FD.

Ahh forgot about the driveshaft seal..thanks. I've got a couple of extra ones lying around so i'll try one of those first and see if it works. Hopefully thats it. Actually now that I think of it I think that seal just holds in the grease from the splines not the oil.

Was not the seals ...the reverse threaded retainer was loose

U-joint to middle gear output?
