your truck sounds like my 88 dak. everytime you fix something, something else breaks.[:@]

 

yup your right. I keep having to fix things and im getting sick of it.

 

Ok back to my question. Im getting a oil puddle underneeth the front of my truck. Probably 4 drips per hour. Im not sure where its comming from but i do know that its not engine oil. I noticed that my front differential and axle is coverd in oil. (not engine oil, more like gear oil). The truck also makes a howl from what sounds like the front of the truck when i let off the gas. Any ideas on what could be happening here?

 

my truck been leaking from the rear main for about 9 months now. I lose about a half quart oil over a 6 months.

 

rear main, at your transfer case right? i know ive got a leak there but thats not the one im talking about. It seems like its around the front diff.

 

I think I found your problem in the first place. It has to do with your signature "172K and runnin' strong" Change this and you'll probably have better luck. I find everytime i say that something is good it goes bad, so i just don't say anything at all... just my $0.02!!

 

haha funny. Im just having minor problems. Im a little obsesive about my truck lol. If i have a small leak it bothers me till i fix it . It runs like it has 100k.

 

i know exactly what you mean, especially since my truck is still fairly new to me, i'm paranoid, and have to have everything working perfectly.

 

Well i still cant figure out where its leaking. Seems like it might be a inner cv joint.[:'(]
