Got under my (new to me) jeep today to start looking around in preparation to tackle sye and adjustable control arms. Noticed way too much diff fluid coming out the the rear axle around both wheels and where the pinion enters the rear axle.
Axle is a Dana 44 with Eaton true track and 4.10 gears (installed in 2019). Brakes are disk. Fill plug is tight as shit so haven't checked fluid level yet. Don't have my breaker bar and don't really want to put an impact on it. Front Axle is a Dana 35 with gears and true track installed at the same time. No issues up front.
Breather seems to be clear. Obviously I am not gonna drive it till I get the plug off the diff and can make sure it has fluid.
Is this a job worth doing or is it worth taking it to the shop? Any insight is appreciated.
