mt friend has got a 1995 disco and theres and oil leak at the n/s sphere on the front axle how can he stop the oil leaking ??

dan3411:
sounds like you need to change the swivel oil seal. Not a particularly taxing job, involves taking off the
hub.. some if the bolts can be a right  :-# where the swivel ball connects to the axle, And the part itself
is less than £5.

ronttuk:
thanks dan  :clap:

crazymac:
Yep, simple enough job.

remove wheel, caliper and steering rod then undo the whole hub! remove it complete with the axle shaft! and stick it in a bucket. That gives you access to a metal ring that goes round the hub and covers the seal. Remove the ring and then the seal, the new one will fit over the crome ball. refit!

davidlandy:
check the swivel bearings at the same time as sometimes when they are worn the symptom is a leaking seal too.
