Leaking Axles

[chiefdruid]

hello
The seals have gone on my front axle and i am leaking diff oil out of the knuckles, my question being is it alright to keep driving the truck till i can find time to sort it out, and how long have i got before i have to fix it

can you do a pic of what you mean ?

you should be ok if its the front diff as the front diff does not move or work as long as you dont use 4wd and the hubs are not engaged

i dont understand the knuckles bit

need pics

Leaking Hubs a double

Hello
I think I have the same issue, had a set of AVM hus fitted and since then have has oil leaving from what looks like hubs. Could this be the seal on the axle, and not actually the hubs?
Sure looks like the hubs.

oh yes - 5 months and counting with no issues.

Wheels are filthy so got to pull my finger out soon
