I know there are a ton of threads related to axle seals leaking, but I can’t seem to find anything other than replace the seals. My backstory is this. Bought a 21 Gladiator Willys with 24k miles. Previous owners put a 2.5” lift and 35” on factory rims as well as wheel spacers (I hate those things). 35,800 miles my passenger front axle tube shows a drip and depending on how long I drive, the drip puddle gets bigger. I decide to go ahead and regear to 4.88 while having the seals replaced. Leak stops for a few days but came back. Had the shop look at it again while they did the break-in fluid change and said they don’t see it leaking anywhere and it must be residual fluid from prior to replacing the seals. I did read somewhere that sometimes the breather can get clogged causing pressure buildup which may then push oil out of the seals so I checked that and either I cleared the blockage by spinning the breather around or it didn’t have a block. Any other thoughts or ideas before fighting with the shop?
