I am installing an aussie locker today, and just removed the nuts, washers and cone washers. The drivers side started to immediately leak oil.........is this right, do I have a bad seal?

are your wiper seals leaking?
IIRC it's pretty common for the rear inner oil seal to go with the amount of miles most of these cruisers have on them. If you've never been in there before its probably time for a new seal. Luckily they are pretty inexpensive and easy to swap. If the cruiser was slightly unlevel towards that side and the axle shaft was partly pulled out, then that is probably normal. If it were me for the small cost I'd just replace those seals if they haven't been done recently.
Sorry, Rear axle is what I'm on....
This is also my DD, if the seals are not easily available, is it ok to put back together as is, and swap when i can get them.....suppose I have been driving this way for quite some time!
