This is the strangest thing. It's on my Bronco... but hey, it's still a Ford. I notice a few drips from under the pumpkin. I crawled under and dabbed it with my finger to smell it... yep, gear oil. So I looked all around for where a seal might be leaking... nothing. Then I looked where it was moist. It was on the back side of the axle housing on the perimeter where you normally see a weld.... I'd estimate the three o'clock position... like in line with the passenger axle tube. It's strange... could I have picke up some king of pin hole leak thru the weld??? What do I do to fix it.... short of throw a weld across it? I don't have a welder or know how one works.... can it be done as is in the vehicle? Are there dangers of fluid igniting? Could I get lucky and patch it with something else?
