My front diff oil seals are leaking on both sides. I used to feel a minor little shudder when turning sharp at slow speeds at cold start but never afterwards. Now I feel more of the shudder at higher speeds and after it warms up. I have fluid slinging everywhere and lots of drops on the garage floor. However I’ve checked the fluid twice in the last 6 weeks and it’s not low at all. I’m confused. The power steering, oil, and brake fluid are all full no leaking. The drops on the garage smell like gear oil and I see the seals are wet. Any ideas???

It's gear oil. Front inner CV axle seals

Is that a different seal than the seal going into the transfer case? Why does it shudder like that? Thanks!
The CV axle seals are different for each side and the output seal from the transfer case and pinion seal at the clamshell. Have to pull the cv and the deal is pretty easy. The shudder can be the CVS binding or low of grease or the front diff. 10mm hex to open the clamshell to check levels. dS of the diff
