Ever since i bought my truck three months ago i have noticed a leak on the front differentia that seems to be originating on the plug.

I have searched for similar problems on the forum and have read about checking if the vent tube is obstructed.

I went under the truck and couldn't find a vent tube on the differential, the only one i found was on the actual axle, is this the vent tube for the differential.

Also, my differential seems to have two rubber plugs, is this how it is supposed to be?

What do you suggest me to do to stop this leak?

Here is the front diff leaking

Here is the other end of this axle vent tube

Yes that would be the vent tube. I don't know what the 2nd rubber plug is for but you should just replace them. I'm sure they are going to be cheep.

 

Go down to Napa and get a couple new plugs. Should be an easy fix.

 

thanks for your answers.

By the way, does the fluid should be leve with the top or bottom plug?

 

I checked autozone.com and napa.com and haven't found the rubber plugs for the differential.

The only one i could find online is this

The sell some metal plugs and also there is a rubber plug, do you think this will fit?

 

That looks like it to me. Check with your local dealer for some.
