Looks like my left rear axle seal is leaking, I was underneath running a cable for my rear dash cam and saw this.

Also need to go back to the installer of my Leer topper and make them fix this.

Wires around my parking brake cable.

 

That sucks. Atleast they are an easy fix.

 

Yes the wire fix is easy I could do it but Iwant them to see what they did, the axle seal, knowing my dealer they will want to keep it atleast a week. Then they will clean everything and tell me its residual. Took me 7 trips to get a new T case that wouldnt stop leaking. The question is, do I take it in now? Or wait till my next oil change in about 5k miles, I have about 4800 miles on this oil and at 45% per forscan lite.

 

Is yours a 250 with the ford axle or a 350 with the dana?

 

250 with the ford axle, I hate these decisions, is it bad enough to take in now, no oil on the ground, but it does damage tire, or wait till I also have to go in for seatbelt recall. Ill have to look again and see if oil is getting on the brakes.

 

I remember all the bs you went through with your transfer case. Aren't there any other dealers in your area? Anybody have a suggestion of a good service dept in his area? I would get it fixed asap due to brake contamination.

 

Ive driven for months with a seepy axle seal before. I'd wait till it's convenient.

 

Are you sure that the axle leaking and not brake fluid?

 

yes its coming out around the axle housing, the caliper is dry. Ill take it in next week for its 10k service, alignment check and seal.

 

unfortunately its the best one in the area, just very busy because of it. All the local utilities take their vehicles there.
