Thanks...
One will smell like gear oil and the transmission end will smell like motor oil. Im guessing it would be the final drive end. There is a seal there that is replaceable, I went to a local bearing supplier and picked one up for $8.00. If you do a search here I have listed the P/N and I think a couple photos. I think Gadgets page also has a article on how to do the job. Its not that difficult to do yourself, there is a lock ring that I tapped out with a punch unless you have the special tool to remove it. and there is a small setscrew that has to be loosened beforehand. The lockring is a backwards thread.
