Axle seal is bad and needs to be replaced
just get it tight enough to seal good
seal. expensive
The Ford Contour was produced from the years 1995 to 2000. The front pump transmission seal in a 1998 Ford Contour is located very close to the camshaft.
Either the transmission tail seal or the transfer case input seal has failed. The transfer case has to be removed to replace the seals.
No you can access the rear main seal by removing the Transmission, flywheel etc
Those seals are where the axle's slide into the transmission.....2 differant sizes left and right.
Could be a gasket, an o-ring or a seal. Need more info as to where it is leaking.
drop transmission remove old seal replace with new seal
Front seal: remove engine or transmission and replace the seal. Rear seal, remove the drive shaft to replace the seal. Unfortunately, you typically only have problems with the front seal.
Either the output seal on the trans or the input seal on the transfer case has failed. You will need to remove the transfer case to change both seals.
By removing the transmission from the truck, then removing the seal.
