(LOOKING FROM THE FRONT OF THE KJ) What is just before the front diff straight up that has some kind of oil fluid? is it power steering? I droped my front skid today to clean it. (IT WAS LOADED WITH MUD) and I noticed an oil spot. So I looked up and I see a fair amount of old maybe new collected straight up from the front of the diff. I could not get a picture because it was getting dark. I was hoping you guys might identify the base area and componets. |

Could be some oil dripping from the oil filter. Or leaking from the power steering return line or inner tie rods. Clean everything up really good with some degreaser and drive around and put a piece of cardboard under the frond end and wait. |

Power steering and oil filter is in that area. Front diff pinion seal could also be leaking(mine is). |

nothing from oil filter. that is DRY. It is not the front diff. it is above it. If it were the front diff, then it would have to be pushing out the top with pressure. It looks more like power sterring fluid. I bet the lines are leaking. |

It might also be the high pressure power steering line. Mine had to be replaced early on because it sprung a leak at the high pressure switch. Directly below the power steering pump. How's the level in your steering fluid reservoir? |
