Hello everyone. I'm new to the site and thank you in advance for any help and guidance.
Left side (dipstick/fill side) of front axle of my b7610 is weeping a bit of fluid originating from the bevel gear case and gear case junction.
I removed the dipstick and there was some back pressure and sufficient fluid (obviously).
First, is this common and should I replace the seal(s) or wait? Second, is the front axle vented? And where? Could this be the result of turning at a very sharp angle in four wheel drive or infrequent use of it and the seals deteriorating? Or even pressure build-up in the front axle?
Thank you
Tim
