Front diff leak

[cottong2001]

2007 Expy EL 76k miles. While changing my oil this weekend, I noticed some fluid around the back of the front diff and the passenger side half-shaft. the half-shaft seems to be worse. The truck came from Florida and I've been using the 4x4Auto mode quite a bit these past few months. I'm guess I need to replace a could of seals.

Has anyone else done this? Big job? or no?

I've been using Amsoil 5w20 and really am pleased so far. I may use their synthetic gear oil also.

I haven't picked up a service manual like Chilton or Hanes. What do you guys recommend?

Thanks!
Andy

getting the manual. and change the diff gasket. idk how much oil it needs but i think its a fairly easy job. but get the manual so you know how to do it and know the recommended amount of oil and weight.
