Differential Pinion seals weeping?

Asnes · Sep 8, 2024

I was doing routine inspection at 7k miles yesterday and noticed that both front and rear pinion seals at the differential seem to be weeping / sweating a little. No oil on the ground and discoloration around the seal is somewhat minor.

Is this normal?

do you happen to have the Eibach springs?

I had the same with no visible drip and oil levels remained fine many thousands of km. seals have been replaced now though.

Stock truck, no lift. Maybe 150 miles total off road on mainly sand / gravel tracks with some water crossings.

Makes sense. Not concerned. I’d like to get a free diff gear oil change front/rear out of a warrantee claim
