gear oil stench!

<< < (2/2)

Bulli:
gear oil and ep smell very different...does it smell kind of fishy? then its more likely to be axle.

you should try changing the oil in both geartox ,tfr case and axle ...but tbh if its that bad the damage may have already been done.

hobbit:
For what it costs, drain and refill diffs/gearbox/transfer box and hubs

Checking the colour of the oil coming out, lovely brown = no good

If its not been done in a while  its worth a punt

btw the front cv hubs take ep90 or equivalent, I use one shot, bit thicker :wink:

Disco-andy:
if it squeeks have you cheaked you dont have a small stone in your brake pads?

Ralph:
I had this smell it was gear oil on the handbrake shoes, seal had gone and oil made the shoes swell a bit and were rubbing when driving, when it got hot it stank!

Range Rover Blues:
If you got it muddy then a look underneath should reveal the source of the oil, nothing shifts it.
