Fluid drips at the rear








Hello everyone, haven’t posted for a while but looking for your opinions. Noticed some drips on my garage floor and my first thoughts were front pinion diff seal. After a look underneath the diff is dry but just above the front of the rear diff is where the leak appears to be. I’m assuming that this is ACE fluid? I haven’t checked the ACE fluid level in the reservoir yet. The attached photos show the fluid above the prop/rear diff.

Just checked the ACE fluid reservoir level and it’s still full as is the brake fluid level?

Many thanks

Garry

You won’t notice any level change with a few drips. It’s likely just started leaking as you would have noticed earlier. I can’t see your photos but I would suspect your ARB or the pipes. 2012 5.0 SC AB

Rear ARB. Budget £1500 to replace unless you're lucky and it's just the pipe union. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Thanks for the reply. Just edited the post and added the photos. I was initially glad it wasn’t the diff but I think the diff would be an easier fix.

Hi RRSTDV8, thanks for the estimate. Do you know if the unions are accessible without lifting the body?

Hi P38, thank you for the information. I have had a fixed price that is quite a lot less but I don’t know if we would be comparing like for like.
