I believe mine is a axle seal leak. Please take a look at my pics. It isn't anything like yours. It is leaking down the dust shield at the end of the axle. Please advise.
I did look at your pics, and re-read your post... There is no mention of WHERE the leak is COMING FROM... I can see plainly where it IS not where it's FROM...
Now if we're done being condescending...
If it's just the outer seal, I have no idea how much a shop would charge to fix, you could try calling one, but I would just do it myself. Pull the axle, get a new kit for bearing, retainer plate, and seal and if you don't want to do the heating the bearing and retainer trick, and/or don't have a press, it will be a lot cheaper to bring the axle and parts to a local machine shop and have them press the stuff on for you. I've done it with the heating in the oven trick, and had that fail another time and went and bought 20 ton shop press to end it!
After you have them press on the stuff (remember to put the retainer plate and seal on, then have them press the bearing and the bearing retainer on) you just pop it back in and good to go.
Have you ever removed the
Dana 44 axles yet? Fairly easy. Let me know if you need more info.
I say new bearing and bearing retainer because you have to destroy them to get them off in most cases... That was a pain. Let me know if you want more info on that.
By the way, I'm only trying to help
If you only give me 1 picture and another blurry version of the same picture and your entire post reads:
Well my Dana 44 is leaking in the rear passenger side. How hard of a repair is this and how much should I expect to pay if I have a garage take care of it?
It isn't the brake lines leaking either
Don't be surprised or discouraged with me miss diagnosing from hundreds of Miles away...
There are bearing / seal kits on a few of our sponsor sites if you want to try to tackle yourself. If not you can probably expect at least a $300.00 bill from a garage to do it time / labor and parts. But again, I've never checked with them on it...
