A 2001 Ford escape differential leak is usually caused by a bad seal. Replace the differential seal. The new seal should stop the oil leak.
i had the same problem with oil leaking too, i tried all kind of stop leak. but only "lucas" oil stop leak worked, haven't leaked since. My 92 Vigor had the same issue. It was initially diagnosed as a leaking oil pan gasket. I brought it to Acura and was advised that the leak came from the oil filter adapter assembly seal and not the oil pan gasket. To access this part, the front differential assembly had to come off along with the return hoses.
Bad seal or loose drain plug.
In my 1993 Ford F-150, I had oil in the breather due to a blown head gasket.
i have an 08 fxdl and my heavy breather leaks out too. people tell me the orings aren't strong enough to keep the oil from leaking due to the amount of heat. its darn annoying if you ask me! I'm coming to the conclusion that its poor design!
Well, inside the engine bay it could be the oil cooler or the oil breather. Those are the most likely. Underneath its likely to be the plate you take off the change the oil filter, or the valve covers.
Probably a breather pipe for the front differential.
If you overfill an differential and it does not have a vent or the vent is plugged the oil, when it becomes hot and expands, will blow past the seals causing at a minimum a leak and at worst bearing damage. Always fill the differential to the bottom of the fill hole.
Yes, differential fluid breaks down and becomes contaminated over time. sometimes changing the differential oil causes the axle seals to leak because the new oil will be thinner than the old stuff so keep an eye on them.
my warrior spit out a gas and oil mixture out of the breather because the gas shut off wasnt working and the carb was letting the gas leak by so it actually pretty much overfilled the engine so bad it would fill the air box witht his mixture
It all depends on what part is leaking what fluid. Brake cylinder would leak brake fluid. Axle seal would leak gear oil.
