My W22 is now leaking fluid out the rear driver side axle seal. Looks like a hard plastic seal and it?s just coming out. Can?t tell speed of leak, but can see dirty hub after a drive. We?re currently on the return leg of a long trip (close to 7k miles in 2.5 months). So, I guess this much use surfaces some things. Hasn?t been leaking log, but noticed it perhaps 800 miles ago.
Question is...
Is this a big enough deal that I have to fix on the go? It?s obviously much easier to deal with it at home. I probably have another 1400 miles to get home. I?m currently in Texas and heading back to Florida.
How hard would it be to top off fluid through the differential? Necessary? Like I said, the leak doesn?t seem too fast. Doesn?t leak just sitting still, but under way, I can see the streaks.
