NEWBIE Front Axle Leaking

[hsc]

I drove through about 1/2 mile of water the other day, in two wheel drive. The water was about 2 1/2 feet deep. When I got home about twenty minutes after driving through the water I parked on the carport. Came out about 2 hrs later and noticed fluid coming on the carport. Looked and both sides of my axle are leaking, driver's side worse than passenger.

What did I do? What can I do? What do I need to do?

Thanks in advance.

I take it you mean it's leaking gear oil. Sounds like you have bad seals.
You need to take it apart and replace the seals.
If on the other hand you mean there was water coming out of the ends
that would be normal.
