I have an 84 4x4 and back in jan. I had the right axle seal replaced, well last night I noticed something all over my wheel and after close examination I discovered it was diff. fluid and it was seeping out the front of the hub. I could lock and unlock the hub and see it coming out around the hub and it is wet on the backside also. My question is does this sound like the axle seal leaking again or is something wrong with the hub? Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated.

 

kind of sounds like your seals are shot. the only "fluid" in your hub should be grease. if you take the hub off and find gear oil that is bad.

 

yeah thats what I kinda thought, havent took the hub off but it is defenitly diff fluid. My local toyota dealership replaced it so I will be taking it back. Thanks for the help

 

Time for a front axle rebuild.
