Found some oil leaking out of the front of my engine going to the front drive shaft. Anyone else has had this problem or know what to do about it? I was looking for the parts but dont know what it is called. Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks

Part name

I figured out it is the front oil seal. A 3.40 part. Anyone know of the easiest way to change this.

hope you dont have to take the front diff off the mounts and slide it forward to get the driveshaft out the way, well at least that is the case with me, i broke the bolt that is just under the driveshaft that holds the front case of the motor on

no alot of people have had this problem with the seal around the front drive shaft its not to hard to do you just need to unbolt the front diff and slide it forward enough to to get the drive shaft away alittle take a pick and get the old one out and then just pop the new one in..........when you take the seal out your going to loose some oil ........... as far as breaking the bolt that holds the front case to the motor dont see why that was even needed to be touched

because i had the front cover off to install a clutch kit, unless you happen to know a way to get the springs on without taking the cover off im all ears for that but the damage has been done already to the bolt

o okay you had it off to put in a clutch kit but you dont have to touch the front cover to get to the seal that i am talking about maybe i am talking about the wrong one
