Hello,
20140910_203341.jpg Found this today after spotting a drip on the inside of my tyre.
After getting under I also found a leaking radiator.
Any ideas on the extra wetness on the knuckle flange?
Thanks,
Cam

Yep inner axle seal is Knackered mate. That is Diff Oil. It will have contaminated your CV and you fill need to strip and clean that side. The inner axle seal is the inner most part and the hole lot comes out to get to it.
Consider doing a swivel hub rebuild to both sides. I'd consider fitting new wheel bearings while your there.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.Originally Posted by Rogue Dung Beetle

Thanks for the quick reply MudrunnerTD, I was kinda hoping it was smaller than that. We are about 600km from a mechanic. Looks like some belt tightening is in order.
The jobs not as hard as it looks. It's just labour intensive. If you can swing spanners, you'll be fine mate.

Il dado è tratto
I'm normally pretty good on the tools and Mudrunners guide was very impressive. It's just a little daunting being our only car up here. It is too far to get a lift to town if I missed something. I also have to have it fixed by the 19th.
I think I might send it to Isa on this weeks truck.
On that note, any ideas for a replacement radiator? Should I try and spring for the Nissan one on Patrolapart?
I'd go patrolapart for the radiator...

If I don't need to use 4WD, would this be OK to drive with for a couple of thousand kms?
I would and no doubt many others would. Things to consider though, if it's leaking diff oil, the diff is getting less oil ( depends how fast the leak is to the amount of concern). And the cv is getting more wear due to the oil mixing with the grease. Overall though, I'd still drive and fix it when you can.

Thanks for the response NP99. That saves me a lot of heart ache. Trying to organise all of the transport by next week would have sent me way into the red. Now if I just swap the radiator myself I should be able to take things a bit slower.
