    Thank you Very Much BigMooze and others for the input it's very helpful .....
    It have to be because we look at the engine area and didn't see any leaking.

    If you putting a lift, get new seals on both sides at the same time. Until than you need to check and refill front diff oil level.
    Also I would make seal a priority over lift

    I would get it dealt with ASAP. At least keep the front diff topped up with fluid until you get the money to replace the seal. (Blue beat me to it).
