grease in oil front diff 80 series

replace your axle seals . Remove axles ,replace seal ,repack cv not much to it . You need to do this every 40 to 50 ,000 kms , You will find diff oil in your hubs has washed away the grease in your cv's , if you dont repack them , they will $hit them selves real quick

Is your rear pinion seal leaking or do you think the unis are the c/v's?
For a start, drain the diff oil and replace and monitor.

Hi Eric
yes its still a snail...till next week that is...then it becomes an expensive trip to the Dynometer....motor is going in starting monday.
I couldnt help think how well your old 80 would have went on Straddie

Yes rear pinion seal of front diff...im trying to work out how grease in oil and pinion leak got together,,,if both are happening, its possible that contamination has occurred, or simply the diff is worn and in need of a rebuild.
New oil and monitor may slow the leak and stop the grease...i would also suggest the valve at he end of the diff breather is filed in the bin and replaced with a hose extension and a old fuel filter ontop to keep dirt out...that way there is no suction past grease seals.

Another trick i picked up from another forumn (i wont devulge where) is to put a squirt of brake fluid into what ever is leaking and it will stop the leak.....now apparently this was a common practice at certain Land Rover service centres, and probably still is......
