So, I've had a strange squeaking/clicking coming from the mid to rear of my truck for about 3 months now. Seth helped me do an explorer 8.8 l/s swap back in May.
I've looked under my truck a few times now, hoping to find some metal on metal wear, but I've seen nothing. Today I looked under the rear of my truck to see this (see attached picture, click on it to make it larger).
It appears I'm leaking rear axle fluid. Would that lead to pretty intense squeaking/clicking when in 1st gear and in second? It only happens when starting in first and second gear. Sometimes in third, and clicks when coasting in other gears (it never happens when my clutch is engaged or when in neutral).
Thanks.
