Why so many leaks @ 40k miles?

[ALRaptor]

So it appears that I have a leak from the passenger side seal on my front axle, but why is it grease and not gear oil? I also have a leak between my transfer case and transmission. It’s leaking enough to leave drips on the driveway. Does the trans have an output seal? Are these areas prone to leaks with such low milage?

that first leak is dried up axle fluid. easy and inexpensive repair. i just changed that seal this past weekend. seal was in stock at a local auto parts. the 2nd not sure, is the oil coming from above the exhaust hanger?

yep passenger side axle seal, super common, but mine was like 80k. I also had front pinion seal recently at 105k, but not the transfer case / trans yet

I have a 2018 with 148,000 miles and have had ZERO leaks so far. Guess I am one of the lucky ones.

I just had my passenger side axle seal replaced at 78K miles. My brothers same seal is sweating and he only has about 30k miles on the truck.

What did that run outta warranty?

FWIW I’ve had to replace the drivers side axle seal on my C5Z 2x now over the course of 68k miles, but it’s getting 700+whp thrown at it…so if it cries every now & then & needs a new seal every few years that’s cheaper than a billet built diff (it’s not the 1/2 shafts it’s the output side on the diff w/ the Z anyhow)
