Decided to tackle the front axle seal leak first. Before I tore down the front end to replace the seal I tried to exhaust my other options first.
Has anyone experience oil leakage due to water displacing the oil? Would this be enough to force it out the seal?
I ask because when I removed the fill plug to inspect the condition of the oil a significant amount drained so I knew there was water. When I removed the bottom bolts from the front cover I had about 3+ cups of water drain so I know that is the displacer here.
Thoughts before I go tearing this down?
