Does the Driveshaft Need to Be Replaced If It's Leaking Oil?
1 Answers
If the driveshaft is leaking oil, it is necessary to take it to a repair shop for inspection and treatment. Whether it needs to be replaced depends on the situation. The reasons for driveshaft oil leakage are as follows: Aging of the oil seal: Like the engine and transmission, the driveshaft is a mechanical transmission component that requires lubrication. Oil leakage is mostly caused by the aging of the oil seal, leading to incomplete sealing. Loose clamps: Oil leakage from the driveshaft dust cover is often caused by loose clamps. Tightening the screws has little effect, and over time, oil leakage will still occur. To completely eliminate the oil leakage, the corresponding parts of the driveshaft and transfer case need to be disassembled and reassembled properly.
