Remove the fill plug from the 2001 Explorer differential. Remove the cover from the head to allow the fluid to drain. put the cover back on with a new gasket, then fill the unit up through the fill hole.

What is axle seal leak?

I have had the passenger front axle seal changed ( 3 ) times on my 1995 Ford Explorer XLT - 4x4 over the years . The axle seal will start leaking , which will drip on the garage floor and throw differential fluid up underneath the Explorer and therefore drop the fluid level in the differential . I have always had the seal replaced as soon as I have noticed any dripping so I have not allowed the differential fluid level to drop low enough to cause any damage to the differential which of course would cost a lot more money to repair


Does a 1996 ford explorer xlt have a oil overflow hose?

I know there is a vent hose on the front differential of the 4x4 so if the differntial fluid expands too much when warmed up it makes quite a mess ( its happened twice on my 1995 XLT after having front axle seals changed and the front differential fluid was topped up ) I believe the automatic transmission also has a vent hose

How do you change the front differential fluid?

Changing differential fluid is no different from changing engine oil. You just have to make sure that you find the correct drain plug on the bottom and the correct filler tube on top. --Ken On some differentials you have to remove the cover plate to drain.
