Hey guys. New to the site. I'm working on the front brakes of my 99 2500 4x4. I've got the driver side done and back together. When I pulled the rotor/hub assembly from the passenger side, the axle came out a little with it and leaked oil. I assume that's from the diff. I pushed the axle back in, but I don't know much about the front axle on these trucks, so I have some questions:
1) Is that normal or is something broken?
2) If that's normal, am I likely to have messed up a seal by doing that?
3) If the seal and everything is probably ok, what type of oil am I going to need and where do I fill it? I haven't crawled under to see if there's a fill plug on the diff.
I've got everything on hold until I find out. I did some searching, but I don't know if I'm using the correct terms and didn't find anything.
Thanks!
