Hey guys,
So whilst getting the exhaust replaced I noticed that there seemed to be oil all over the rear diff on the drivers side, I also noticed there's a tiny streak of oil on the passenger side (see pics). I've had a search on the forums and it seems like the most likely culprit is the seal being worn, just to get a second opinion what are your thoughts? Could anyone point me in the right direction as to which seals I may need? Would it be worth changing the seals on both sides whilst I'm at it?
EDIT: I've just noticed that there seems to be quite a bit of oil on the actual exhaust.......the exhaust was fitted yesterday and it's hardly been driven...is this a sign that the leak is pretty substantial?
(Apologies for the bad quality)
