I own a 97 ranger and I have oil that exams out of my front differential. Just wondering if anyone knows what it could be. I'm thinking that it is the oil seal but if it's something less of a pain in the butt to fix that would be very nice. Thanks!

could be the pinion seal, the diff seal to the beam, or the seals where the shafts go in.

These TTB axles are the most neglected axles in the world. Look at it and see where it's leaking.

Why don't people post their location? If someone lived within 100 miles of me I would probably drive to help them. This is a frustrating post. No information, no location--you want help or not?

Here's help. See where it is leaking from and fix it. Get ready for some work as it's 66.7% likely you'll need to drop the diff.

I can't tell where it's leaking from that is the thing. It all just goes to the bottom of the axle.

Spray it with Purple Power(cleaner/degreaser) and let it soak. Then hose it off and check to see where the leak is coming from.
