While I was doing a 60000 service on 98 disco, I noticed front and rear seals on the diff were soggy, and small but apparent oil leaks on both diffs. Are the seals a DIY project that I could undertake, or should they best be left up to a dealer or qualified mechanic?
Thanks,
Ron C

...or if it's at the diffnose, it's very simple (chk Ottos homepage: http://home.halden.net/discovery). Check for blocked breathers - very common problem!
