Ducato Differential Oil Weep

· Posted: 07.09.2013 · #1

Hi my 2.5TD Ducato in my Hymer 544 (1987-1995 type) has an oil weep from the diff/drive shaft seal. Its not the seal (its been changed) and the gearbox breather is not blocked.
Ive been told that the diff bearing might need the preload re-set. Does this sound like anything anyone else has ever experienced?

I have the A534 - 2.5TD Fait and there is a minimal smear of oil from the area, but at this stage not bothering me or noticeable loss in the gearbox level (the most awkward dipstick ever) to check.

I did replace ALL engine mounts and it made a HUGE difference in the unit - especially in the gearbox arena. Great investment.

Did you get an anywhere with other forums/leads/answers?
