Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
Good evening.
I have gear oil weeping from what Ive been told was a overflow tube from the rear diff. I have small puddles of gear oil on the rear drivers side. To the left of the gas tank (looking at it from the rear of the vehicle). What may cause this? As well it is leaking a small amount from the rubber plug at the fill hole. Why would the overflow tube be spuing oil. I just had the rear diff fluid changed three weeks ago. I did not start leaking until after it was serviced. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Greg |
Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
The person who changed the diff oil screwed up. They probably put too much
in. Take it back and complain. The rear plug is probably worn out and that is why it is leaking.

Be sure to be a little more tactful than my post was. Offer them a chance to
check it out because of the leakage and take it from there.. Carl "jerryg" <Gregginn7@msn.com> wrote in message news:1166417022.360279.327630@16g2000cwy.googlegro ups.com... > Thanks Carl, will do.

Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
Have you had your Jeep out to play in the water? If the rear axle or
pinion seals are weak, you can easily get water into the diff if you stop in a deep puddle of water. That can cause your symptoms.

Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
The quick lube places, and lots of "reputable" shops too, fill gear lube
with a motor-driven pump. It is real easy to get too much in, because the fill hole is the same as the level hole. You don't see the fluid flowing back out, until you have put a quart extra in. Imagine molasses under pressure. Of course, the "technician" is supposed to account for this when he is pumping it in there.

Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
Hi Mike. Nope no water yet unless you count playing in a foot of snow
any measure of water! I just went to the garage to check the level. It is almost full. The plug probably could use replacing. It is dry and has a few cracks around the edges, but other than that it still spits from the vent tube and I don't know why. It is very baffling!! Thanks for the input. I appreciate it all. Thanks.

Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
I had the same problem with my son's '94 YJ. An easy fix would be to pop out
the rubber fill plug and let it drip out until it stops dripping. That fixed our overfill problem.

Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
I had the same problem with my son's '94 YJ. An easy fix would be to pop out
the rubber fill plug and let it drip out until it stops dripping. That fixed our overfill problem.

Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
Have you or preveous owner had a slip yoke installed, new driveshaft and
pinion tilted up towards transfer case, if so fill plug level wont mean much. My daughter's 9" will hold a quart more then it's supposed to, filling it to fill hole will force it out the vent tube and eventual blow the axle seals out.

Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
Why would it hold more with the pinion tilted up? Is the fill hole in the
front on a nine inch? The OP likely has a D35, which has a rubber fill plug in the diff cover.

Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
I wonder if the tech that serviced your vehicle inadvertently squirted some

Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
I wonder if the tech that serviced your vehicle inadvertently squirted some
gear oil in the vent tube. It could splash in there maybe. If that is the case it should stop coming out after some time.

Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
Hmmm.....
Are you sure you are looking at the vent line and it's gear oil? The vent line will be a 3/8" ID or so line with a plastic fitting and cap on the end of it. It should be pointing straight up. You also will have a mess of lines back there that are the gas tank vent and roll over check valve. These would lead up to a charcoal canister under the hood. If one of these are leaking, you might get some goey sludge out of it. I think the unit is on the other side though, but don't know on a 95. Likely there are two lines coming off either side of the top of the gas tank leading to one line like the CJ has.
