Hi all,
In Aug 2001 I bought a 99 MM with the 5.0 V8 with 29k on it. Since then I have changed the pinion seals multiple times. At 33k I replaced the front seal. At 53k I replaced the front seal again. I replaced front and rear seals at 72k, and finally at 96k I just replaced front and rear seals again. Does this seem a little excessive? What could cause the seals to wear and leak so quickly? Thanks
