What would cause...

[LittleD]

Gear fluid to leak out my front diff. where the drive shaft connects?

[Ktmracer419]

a bad pinion seal

or a bad pinion bearing

or a scored yoke

[LittleD]

the jeep was stuck in some deep water, would that cause one of these?

[Ktmracer419]

sure could

but they also wear out with time

Prolly fawked it up spinning the shaft against the ice, check the pinion for slop by wiggling it

[Ktmracer419]

tear apart that front axle and clean the shit out of everything
