I noticed a lot of grease/oil in my front driver side rim this week. Thought it was a CV boot leak. Took it to canadian tire for inspection (after inspecting it myself and seeing nothing wrong).
They say it is an axle seal leak.
The axle seal has been damp for the last 2 years (78,000km). Every time i have taken it in for an oil change they tell me it is damp, but no action is required.
Canadian tire do not fix most things related to the transmission. they have told me to take it to a transmission shop.
Nothing is open for the next 2 days and I'm wondering:
1 - how safe is it to drive?
2 - how much is this repair going to cost?
3 - what exactly is the axle seal, and why is it leaking?
4 - what will have to be replaced/repaired?
Thanx in advance for any insight.
