I recently installed a new used D30 high pinion front axle on my 2000 XJ. All was well until a recent sand-wheeling trip where I bounced it pretty hard. In the aftermath I noticed a passengers side fluid leak out of the end of the axle tube. It seems to drip pretty fast but is not flowing (I did THAT last time). I do not see any bends or tweaks in th housin and the rig runs well and vibration free. The leak has persisted for a week (and been refilled). I think I've blown the axle seal near the diff housing and that this will fix. Any thoughts or other diagnoses?
