    Hey everyone,

    So a couple weeks ago I noticed this leak in that joint where the CV link into the diff. So I ordered new oil Seals as well as a new CV axle (old boot had torn). Installed last week and it was still leaking so I though maybe I damaged the seal on install so I installed another, but same result. As a side note the bearing inside the diff seem to be fine as well. Next thing I looked at was the breather vent and It looked to be fine but not sure how to really test if that's functioning like its supposed to.

    The leak is very slow and only happens while driving, not really sure what to do next as I don't wanna take it to the shop but might have too at this point.

    Unlikely but may be worth checking your fluid level- one time I fought myself to try and stop a transfer case leak but I had just overfilled it accidently by not having the vehicle level

    I Figured if it was overfilled it would come out the breather first. Maybe I should just replace the breather cap and see what happens.
