Oil leaking

Hello,

After an engine oil change I noticed that oil leaking.

Do I just need to tighten the screws?

 

That's the front diff leaking and don't just start tightening stuff. Have it looked at.

 

Did you change your own oil? Did you replace the oil crush washer or did you reuse the old one? It is recommended to replace the crush washer with a new one when you change your oil. Any autoparts store will have them on the shelf, you don't have to go OEM if you want to save a few bucks. They aren't expensive at the parts desk. You can overtighten the oil drain plug and strip the threads on the pan resulting in either retapping the pan or replacing the pan with a new one. My bet is on your oil drain crush washer.

Edit: I'm talking about your oil drain plug on the left and not the diff on the right.

Oops sorry yes I was not talking about the oil drain plug of the engine oil, I just changed my engine oil that's why there is oil there

 

Thanks

 

You need to find out where it’s leaking from.
It’s hard to tell from the pictures, but it seems it’s leaking at the bottom.
You have nothing to loose by check the bolts. If they are loose, tighten them up.
It probably won’t stop the leak. If it is the case, you might get by with cleaning it REALY good and coating the “seem” with RTV. That’s definitely not the right way to fix it. But you’re pulling the front diff and splitting it open to fix it correctly.
And that isn’t an “easy” job.

But, there are other locations it can leak, the input seal at the drive shaft, the fill plug, the drain plug, the breather/line.

 

Thanks
