    Left Rear Axle Differential Leak

    Hi All,

    Do you know if this is a big ordeal? It is very small leak on on rear drivers side axle at the differential. The car was loaded down moving. The shop has told me they should remove axle and reseal and flush differential. What are your thoughts?

    Looks like a typical diff seal leak that just started.

    The way to go about fixing the leak is to remove the diff from the car and replace both sides. The seals themselves are not expensive.

    Also considering having the diff cover resealed as well and replacing the 3 diff mounts if they have not been done.
