Alright fellas, need some advise, help.
Bought one of V7guys (Jason), extra front diffs. Took a while to get gears for the front end. Put em in and rebuilt the diff. Finally swapped them out and went for a test drive. Everything sounded fine. Drove fine. Went in for an alignment and was told the front was leaking.
Checked it out and it appeared that it was leaking from the drivers axle seal. Pulled the driver side apart and found a small nick in the seal and a grove worn in the half shaft ever so slight from the old seal. I replaced the seal and put in a new half shaft to ensure everything is new. Went for a test drive and I'll be damned if it's not leaking again.
I am using a GM seal both times as I picked them up from the dealership I work at. Had the tech who helped me re-gear both diffs look at it after cleaning up the area, and he's sure it's leaking from between the seal and the half shaft. But before I go and buy another seal, I should do more research to figure out why it's leaking before putting more money in it.
So, my question is, what else should I be looking at? Has anyone else ran into this issue before? And, are there any other suggestions on what I should do?
Thanks
