Leaking hub.

[bmxer06pa]

I put in a set of new Arb lockers. After a weekend of wheeling I have diff fluid dripping down my rear passenger tire. I assume it is the o-ring on the axle(which I did not replace). Is there anything else I need to check for /order before I try to fix this.
Thanks

Check your axle breather tube. A clogged tube can cause pressure to build and vent out the hub seal which pushes oil/grease out too.

I will check that.
I forgot to mention I have a 2000 D2

my arb leaks enough air to hear it coming out of the vent hose if you put it right up to your ear.
my vent hoses were both completely plugged.
I removed them from the axle housing and cleaned the fitting with solvent and air.
Lengthened to hoses and moved the front up into the cowl at the winscreen and the rear up behind the filler door.

I don't think it is because of a clogged breather tube. It leaks when the truck is just sitting. I pulled it forward about 10 feet into my driveway and there is a whole new puddle forming below my tire. Is the o-ring the only thing holding the diff fluid inside my axle?

Yea, should have replaced it when you did the ARB's.
