need some insite

i just picked up a rear-axle assembly from a local yard. thing about it is that the junction where the axle tubes go into the differential housing there is a dry leak, that is to say its all greasy and wet but isnt dripping. the u-joint where the driveshaft connects is covered in grease also and there is a very slim gap between the joint and the diff housing. what i want to know is do i have a bum axle housing or is this normal for some god-forsaken reason?

did you ask your blower for advise first?

i knew i had forgotten a step in the process...

well how bout asking your gears?? they can see in there!

The grease around the u-joint could very well be caused by a leaky pinion seal. The leak around the cover(I think thats where u mean it is) could be caused by a plugged axle breather. Then the pressure would build up inside the axle and could force the fluid out.

well i asked my flux capacitor but it didnt seem to know what i was talking about, just kept saying something about time travel or something to that effect...

wow.. i thought you could only get those in a Delorean? lol do they make those for the 3.4?
