It may be your differential or your whole rear end or it could just be a worn out gasket.
Generally it is the pinion seal(where the driveshaft attaches). On a high mileage vehicle a groove can be cut in the sealing surface allowing a leak to start. When it is taken apart, the sealing surface should be looked at carefully. If it is worn a 'SLEEVE-N-SEAL' ( FELPRO COMPANY)can solve the problem.......1930fcoupe It could very well be the pinion seal, or the differential cover gasket, depending on if the fluid leak is coming from the front or rear of the differential.
Replace pinion seal, axle seals or cover gasket unless it is overfilled then drain excess fluid and. Check for proper level
Temporary at best depending on the source of the leak.
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.
it cant they dont have one.
You have a leak. The leak can be from the pump or any of the fittings. You may also have a leak at the rack & pinion.
The oil is in the freon along w/leak detector.
Its your differential or transer case fluid. That is how it smells. Check for a leak.
You will have to keep adding power steering fluid.
Sounds like you have a bad seal on the rack and pinion. The bellows is only to keep dirt and water out of the rack and pinion, it is not a seal to hold pressure in.
Front pinion. So you have 4wd. Its not the end of the world. Remove drive shaft. Bolts in the middle. Then remove the pinion seal. It will definitly suck on your back. Try to find a lift.
