ARB locker...oil in line and leaking from solenoid??

Post by Surfin Alec »

My ARB locker in the rear of my 80 is 6 months old and about 6 tracks old. Last weekend as I popped the bonnet to re-inflate the tyres I noticed oil on the fire wall that has come from the rear locker solenoid exhaust.

Does this mean the seal is stuffed? Will it hurt the locker? and is it a warranty item and if so by who, ARB or the diff shop who installed it?

Cheers,

Alec

Mine done the same and it was a seal. I was also told that a bloked breather will do it just like (its aford not a nissan) says.
