Diff Seals? Bearings? Both?.. was created by Grizzly
Got back from work this afternoon and noticed what seemed like oil on the floor in front of the 'Green Machine'... A quick look under the vehicle and this was what greeted me :unsure: :ohmy:





Not 100% sure whether it's the diff seal or bearings?.. I know from the M.O.T (Feb 2013) that there was some play in both near, and offside bearings... Would the bearings going cause this sort of leak from the diff?

Finger's crossed that you're right and it's just the kingpins... That'll make things so much cheaper ;)
