Hello, my first post here in the forum. If I’m posting this in the wrong place just let me know. I have an 02 1500 4x2 with a 4.7 and just replaced the gear oil in my differential. After cleaning up all the dirt and oil I ran it for a test drive and when checking afterward I noticed a small leak (one drip) on the axle shaft (looking from the rear on pass. side/right. It’s where the axle shaft meets the diff housing. No obvious leaks anywhere else such as around the diff cover. Are there seals in there that can go bad or should I be looking somewhere else?
