replaced the oil seal that sits just inside the CV yesterday as it was pissing out oil. all good I think, except its still leaking oil severely :(
My next guess is it's the seal on the side of the diff pumpkin that needs replacing (bugger). Is there anything else I should know? Seems pretty straight forward, pull both axles, pull the diff centre, clean, replace. Clean and repack bearings, might even put a kit through the swivel hubs while everything's apart. Have I missed anything?

I'd say you didn't fit the axle seal correctly or you damaged it refitting the axle.4130warrior wrote:replaced the oil seal that sits just inside the CV yesterday as it was pissing out oil. all good I think, except its still leaking oil severely :(

I had to replace my centre and my left knuckle was leaking. reassembled both the same, but still leaking left knuckle. I think i cheated but, i didnt take the steering knuckle right off to put the axle in. 
&($#@ okay no worries. Have plans to pull the whole diff down and put a kit through the swivel hubs on the easter long weekend. Took good care to fit the seal correctly, greased it up slightly and got it sitting perfectly. I think I damaged it getting the axle back in place. Bugger.
Alright, so forgive my ignorance, but when you fill a diff up with oil what stops it from leaving the pumpkin and travelling outwards towards the hub??

Yes.4130warrior wrote:So diff oil flows from around the pumpkin all the way along the axle seal to the seal at the back of the swivel hub?
