[QUOTE="wheatonFJR, post: 839208, member: 160"] Yeah, unfortunately that's my gut feeling as well. My theory is that the salt helped cause some corrosion on the U-Joint and output shaft. The increased roughness of this shaft spinning around and rubbing against the seal, damaged the seal...allowing the seepage...the seepage dripped down at the front cover onto the header. However, the data that Ashe brings up gives me a sliver of hope...I would have suspected more oil on the inside of the cover. :huh: So, because the the enormous hassle pointed out by FJRay :( ...I will hold off and watch it for awhile to see if I can find another culprit than what I suspect to be true. So clean it up, and lube the pivot points it is. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
