Ok , I know this is a newbie question , and Yes , I know I'm gonna get flamed , But what the hey:p On my Dana44 front axle , I have a bad leak on the pumpkin where the yoke goes into it. And I mean it leaks pretty good. I'm guessing that it is always leaking because that it is throwing up the fluid when I'm driving it ?:confused: Question is this , Has anyone ever tried to use the stuff that they use on the motors to stop seals from leaking ? And if so , what was the result ?Yeah , I know , It is probably a pretty dumb question , but I really dont wanna have to go in and pull my ring and pinion, and reset it all. I thought that this might actually or hopefully work. Thanks for any and all advise , Now , let the FLAMING begin:nuke: :flipoff2:

I may be wrong, but I think you can just pull the yoke out and put in a new seal. Should impact the nut off the yoke and slide it out to access the seal.

Again, maybe I'm wrong?

Good luck!

Right on NevadaYJ...

Hey , like i said , I'm a newbie , but i learning .. Thanks for the advise , I will look into it... Thanks again.. :D

just change the pinion seal.

To stop it from leaking temporarily, smack a good heafty 3 finger dip of wheel bearing grease around the pinion seal. Thatll hold it for a bit.

The seal ain't sealing no more, man. Time for a new one. But, the new seal may not seal too good either if the surface upon which it rides is grooved and / or otherwise not smooth. Might be time for another one of those, as well.

Seal safely
