    IMG_7823.jpgWoke up and noticed a decent of fluid splattered around my driver side wheel well. Noticed that both of the lines in the image were wet, so I assume that’s where it’s coming from. Anyone know what these lines are to? And part numbers for new lines since these are most likely the culprit

    Those are breather lines. Either both are for the front diff or one is for the front diff and other is transmission. If your diff is overfilled, it can overheat and push fluid out of the breather.

    Thank you. Checked some older forums and found that leakage from the breathers is somewhat normal with the first gens in cold and elevation changes. I’ll keep an eye on it. I don’t believe it to be because of over filling as I got new fluid it around 10k ago so I’d image it would of spit it out earlier
