It's a D-30, 4.10's, lock right. After I park the rig when I come out there is always a little puddle of diff fluid on the ground. The axle joint has a little play... I should replace it....but would that cause it to leak that much? Oh yeah the gears, carrier and locker are fairly new

TIA

If it's leaking that much...time to replace the inner seal. A PITA.

Here is a good link for chaging D30 axle seals:
