Why is there so much moly in my diff? The axle seals were replaced 30,000 miles ago and inspected 10,000 miles ago. The breather is, um, breathing. There is ALOT of moly in my gear oil. This was synthetic 6000 miles ago.
Mildly bearded drain plug
These are newish gears (10,000 miles on them). You can see the gray grease smear of moly grease straight off the plug.
Any thoughts? just bad axle seals? no soup in my knuckles, only the other way around. This is the 2nd full oil change on this diff (replaced the initial oil after the break-in with new conventional, then new synthetic which this was)
Also, where is this leaking from? Tons of crud that is slightly moist. Looks like its on the oil pump area but the gasket is new (around 30k miles).
There is also a visible wet spot on the other side below the water pump
The front mail seal is also about 30k old. Any thoughts?
