2003 Baja Leaking gear oil from the front diff.

Post by Spaghyeti »

Hi all, my 2003 4eat Baja is leaking gear oil from the front diff and it looks not like it's leaking from the drain plug but from the case. Is this possible?

I've got some jobs booked tomorrow but considering parking the car until Monday when I can get to the mechanic. What does an exploded front diff cost? Hmm.

Anything's possible. have to clean it off and see where it comes back.

Since the diff is inside the trans housing, look up what a new trans costs installed. or rather, ask your mechanic.
