On thursday I replaced my driver side axle (bad cv boot). Installed new one and drove car for rest of the day and friday. Everything was OK till today morning.
Under my car I get oil spill I noticed that its leaking from O-ring where axle is installed. WTF? I couldnt damege seal because everything was ok for almost 2 days. Than I started playing with axle to check if its not loose or something. When I pushed it harder axle jumped into tranny and it stopped leaking.

Did I get wrong axle, maybe I locked it wrong during installation. Now I have driven car for 3 miles and no leak so far.

 

was there play in the axle? you should have not been able to push it back into the tranny if it was in all the way.

where did u get the axle from?

 

i think that stupid axle jumped out somehow.
i have that axle from shop which rebuild axles. the guy gave me same axle which I had before. same lenght, same number of teeth and everything.

Did you use a new C ring thing?

 

yes i used new one

 

Might have a defective ring, id replace the ring and resnap the axle in place.

 

 

is it possible that he gave me an auto trans axle? im 5 spd

 

They are nearly the same. But it is a possibility.
