Is It Serious If the Half Shaft Dust Cover Is Seeping Oil?

[LaXavier]

Leakage from the half shaft dust cover is not a major issue, but it is best to inspect and repair it promptly. Here is an introduction regarding leakage from the half shaft dust cover: Causes of leakage: Overfilling of the drive axle reducer with oil, causing the oil level to exceed the normal height. Resulting hazards: Leakage from the half shaft oil seal will reduce the amount of lubricating oil in the drive axle, affecting normal lubrication and accelerating wear on components, leading to premature damage. Leakage from the half shaft oil seal allows lubricating oil to flow into the wheel-side reducer, increasing the oil level in the wheel-side reducer, damaging the oil seal, and flowing into the brake drum, resulting in poor braking performance and endangering safe driving.
