[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 436118, member: 19498"] I forgot to add it may be overfilled also. The weeping from the breather tube typically indicates a plugged breather though. Far as axle seals go, they are on either outboard end of the rear diff in the axle tubes. Taking a quick look you'd see oily residue on the backside of the brake back plates. if you suspect they are leaking then pull a wheel and drum off and you'll see oily residue around the axle itself and if bad enough all over the brake parts and backing plate.
