Have had a faint whiff of diff oil following me around for the past week or so. Checked diff & shocks for leaks but found nothing. Realisation hit me today that the dampness I can see on both swivel hubs must be the cause of the smell. Currently we are up near the tip of Cape York, & due back at Moreton Telegraph Station for wet season caretaking in 2 weeks. Not a lot of opportunity to get this sorted up here, & not a job that I’m up to myself with my knees & back.

Question is how urgent is it to get this done? I can monitor the diff oil level & keep it topped up as needed. We will be on the Cape for at least another 7 months, possibly longer. Might be able to get it done down in Weipa.

Both sides look similar.
