Analysis of Leakage

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford RV Cutaway, 2008 Ford Econoline, 2008 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Clean up the leaking area enough to identify the exact source.

A plugged rear axle housing vent can cause excessive pinion seal lip wear due to internal pressure buildup.

Verify the rear axle lubricant level is at least 3-5 mm (1/8-3/16 in) below the bottom of the fill hole.
