Front axle disconnect leaking

[albertb]

Hello I have ranger with a cherokee dana 30 front. It is leaking gear oil from the manual front axle disconnect. It seems to be leaking from the end where the two metal prongs are. I already tried tightening it. I couldnt really find the part anywhere if anyone has dealt with this Id appreciate the help.

Is it leaking at the switch or out the end if the switch?

I think that switch may use an o-ring to seal it.

its trussed so i assume it has the 2 piece delete. if not, then consider it.

i would just buy a 6 dollar cover plate

Its leaking from the end with the nut with the two prongs sticking out

The FAD is functional. Would deleting it just involve getting a one piece shaft and getting a cover plate with a gasket?
