Santana 2500 Leaking front axle

Santana2500 · Jun 21, 2023

Hello my front axle is leaking at the flange. Where is the oil coming from? The swivel or diff?

Check the levels in both to find out. Can not see anything in pic. If at the flange it is just a paper gasket.

The seal sits inside the axle tube so swivel oil can get to flange and leak if gasket failed / nuts loose
if seal has gone or the seal land on half shaft worn then oil will pass from axle towards flange and swivel

Thank you for your help. The picture helps a lot to visualise how it works
