After sitting for three years of my father's parapalegia....
His 2005 Dodge Ram Daytona has sprung a small leak / weep from the rear pumpkin pinion seal (i think it is called)
Not a huge deal.... Well maybe it is? No odd noises. It leaks about a small 2 inch round spot made of maybe guessing 10drops?) Any way it seems to take overnight to form the spot on the garage floor. Seems to be after she is run some distance which warms the fluid.
It cant be "watched" , probably hours per drip to form.
The fix seems extensive includimg a need to be very careful with the "preload" on a bearing nut in the nose of the pumpkin which is found once the drive shaft is removed. Vibration potential abound with job done wrong.
I dont know if it is "low on fluid" ... Heck it still has some to drip LOl.
But I thought to maybe "keep it topped up" but it requires a special slip additive also.
Ideas!?!?
