Can anyone explain how to ID the source of the leak w/o tearing it clear down?? I had a BIG blat of oil down the outside face of the tire, not the inner face. Looking at the ball it seems like a leak there would fall straight down on the inner side of the tire... so I suspect another seal has blown, letting the oil out thru the wheel onto the outer face of the tire. It does smell like gear oil. Is the front diff full of hypoid? I don't smell that there. When time to refill the swivel housing, it's about 1.2 pints of 90W, is that right? I've seen another post calling for 140W. Many many thanks to one and all. -Bob
