1986 Hilux oil leaks

Post by Oppies3800 »

Good afternoon,

I need to replace the following:

Front left tube seal
Rear diff seal where core goes into the diff housing and mounting bolts

Any idea on pricing and where I can go?

Thanks

Hi Andre. What do you mean by "tube seal"? Are you referring to the front axle knuckle seals? (If so, then you will find that the half shaft seal inside the housing is the one that is at fault, leaking diff oil into the knuckle grease and thinning it which causes it to leak out past the felt seal on the knuckle.) Best is to get the full seal kit and renew the lot in one go.

The rear one is the third member diff gasket.

All are available from agents and still reasonably priced.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
