When in 4wd the front drivetrain slips about every minute or so and its very noticeable. at speed it feels like a jolt as it disengages and about one or two seconds later it is working again. this has been going on for a few weeks now. tonight i took off the drivers side CV joint and axle component thinking it was maybe slipping in there and saw that the oil from the front diff was contaminated with water. so now i believe that is causing the slippage. My question is what, if anything, could the water have damaged? any ideas on what is happening to cause the slip? should just changing the oil make it go away?
