Is the Leakage of the Front Axle Oil Seal a Serious Problem?

[ColtonFitz]

In general, the leakage of the half-shaft oil seal is not severe. It might be an assembly issue. Here is an introduction regarding the leakage of the half-shaft dust cover: 1. Causes: Overfilling of the drive axle reducer with oil, exceeding the normal oil level. 2. Hazards: Leakage of the half-shaft oil seal will reduce the amount of lubricating oil in the drive axle, affecting normal lubrication and accelerating the wear of components, leading to premature damage. Leakage of 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 leaking into the brake drum, resulting in poor braking performance and endangering safe driving.
