|
|
my a1 seems to be leaking gear oil from the pinion seal, when i drive it, it throws oil all underneath the tub. when sitting it leaks but not a hugh amount. new seals and a new yoke was used when i had it rebuilt!
question?- is there anything else i need to look at that may cause this. thxs _________________ 1953 m38a1 1953 m100 |

Did you by any chance use the sealant stuff on the splines of the pinon shaft and the yoke? Mine was laking like a sieve until I applied the sealant to the splines.....now it just leaks like a normal jeep. _________________ Jim

Oh yeah....and also look at the area just behind your rock deflector where the seal lip rides. If it has a noticable groove worn in it where the seal rides it will never work with the new seal and must be replaced, built-up and worked back down or have a redi-sleeve installed. _________________ Jim

jim i really dont know, on both of your replies. i had a guy to rebuild everthing. i contacted him today and let him know it only had 15 miles on it and its slinging oil everywhere. after a few words between us he's suppose to redo it. _________________ 1953 m38a1 1953 m100 |

Just out of curiosity, exactly where is the oil being slung out....front or rear differential? Since I missed that part previously about the yoke being new I'm gonna bet its leaking down the splines. In any event....good luck....when mine leaked the only person i could yell at was.....well....me. But I am pleased to say I was eventually able to extort myself into fixing "most" of my leak? _________________ Jim
