If you remove your front driveshaft nothing will leak out. If someone is they have another issue, not sure where you are reading that at????? I know of three or 4 right now that have been running for months with out one! Maybe I should stop answering questions

When I pulled mine, a small amount of something that looked and smelled like gear oil dripped out from the front. I drove around without it for about three weeks and nothing else leaked. Someone else here had a similar experience. |

I think some people who reported "major" leaks were mistaking the front CVs for the "driveshaft" |

Have the rebuild kit, just haven't had time or motivation to get it done......Guess I need to get it done before winter!??!?! |

This is an issue a lot of people have, such bs the cci driveshaft uses u-joints correct? Any Experiences on what to stay away from? |

Just for future people who stumble on this. After removing driveshaft, I saw no way for it to leak. the design will not allow, unless another issue is present. Regardless, I made a 2 layer seal on each with duct tape, mostly to keep threads clean and dirt/water out. Thanks to everyone who posted! |
