Re: Rear axle seals leaks. Please report.

2. Do seals leak very gradually or once a leak begins will it often quickly get worse, resulting in much lower rear diff fluid level thereby causing the rear diff to fail sooner? (would a person be better off to ignore the leak and avoid seal replacement in hope of getting new axle/new diff down the road?)


thanks------please comment
