Rear wheel/axle seal leaking
I searched and can't find a write up on this. I took my Jeep in to get a new muffler and while it was on the lift, I noticed some gear oil (at least it smells like gear oil) leaking down on my tire from the brake drum. I can also see where it's been splattered all over the tire and rim when I'm driving. My guess is it's a bad axle seal. Is this going to be hard to replace? I've got the Chrysler 8.25 axle.
