I noticed some fluid under my Commander a few days ago. It appears that the rear pinion seal is leaking. There is NO play in the driveshaft so the bearing is not shot, yet.
I've never messed around with this kind of problem. Can anyone tell my how involved this seal replacement is? The axle is a Chrysler 213MM.
Its very easy to do. I replaced my rear pinion seal in June and havent had any issues since. Check out post #30 in this thread. adamag25 posted the instructions right out of the service manual in his garage thread for me on how to properly replace the seal.

Perfect! Thanks 07. As long as the leak isn't terrible is it safe to drive until I get time to fix it, say about a week?

Yeah its fine as long as there isnt a huge puddle on the ground after you park it overnight. If its just a little wet around the seal your good to go till you can fix it.

Got this done last night. I did have a buddy help that has done this before. That was nice. Had to get out the 3/4" drive set for the nut.
Thanks for the help 07!
Not a problem! Glad everything worked out for you.
