Changing differential lubricant

[GRNMACHINE]

my front differential is leaking from the bottom of the front cover.does jiffy lube seal that when you change the front diff fluid?

1999 Ford Exlorer xlt

Unfortunately No. Sounds like pinion seal is leaking. Had mine done by Ford. Was going to tackle that one.

Could just be the front cover. Hard to tell though without actually seeing it.

Unfortunately, properly removing and replacing the front cover seal cannot be done with the differential in place. You may have luck cleaning and resealing the cover with it installed (just running a bead of RTV around it).

The way mine leaked I had thought it was the cover. Try to follow the source of the leak.
