On your Ford Explorer , 4x4 , you have a leak at the PASSENGER side front
axle seal ( I have had my passenger side front axle seal changed 3 times
now on my 1995 Ford Explorer ) The seal doesn't cost very much , the cost
is the labor and I would say it takes about 1 and 1/4 hours to do the job
Axle seal is bad and needs to be replaced
The 1997 Pontiac Sun fire axle seal can leak because of age. A bad wheel bearing is the most common cause for an axle seal to leak.
When the front axle seal first starts " weeping " it doesn't necessarily drip on your garage floor , but it will eventually !
Axle shaft seal.Axle shaft seal.
Is it actually leaking from the axle seal or once it got warmed up did it shoot some fluid from the front differential vent hose ?
Brake wheel cylinder or axle sealBrake wheel cylinder or axle seal
yes
It all depends on what part is leaking what fluid. Brake cylinder would leak brake fluid. Axle seal would leak gear oil.
bad wheel bearings, or bad seal.
I believe it's called a trans-axle output shaft seal. Could also be the front differential pinion seal.
how do you replace left front seal on 2009 ford escape
The right seal can be replaced by only removing the right shaft. To replace the left seal, the entire axle needs disassembled.
