I am not too good with pics - that is the front dif pinion seal right? On my 2002, the dealer charged me $125 to replace the seal.

No more than $200. I bought the seal from my stealer for like $30-$40. I did it myself but i think it pays like 1.5hrs at the most.

Not much at all. I have the same seal leaking on my Jeep but Ive not done anything about it. Might not be a bad idea to check the fluid level in the front diff.

The part itself costs around $10 but the labor is alittle much.

I think we paid right at $150-200 to have the pinion seal changed on a Cherokee of ours.

I may just let mine go for awhile.

Ohh, the power train warranty may cover it.

I had that leak the Dealer repaired it under warranty said the yoke was bad, replaced the yoke, seal, and pinion nut. 1.4 hours flat rate. Joe

Seems like a recurring thing given all the repairs. I'm glad they started the lifetime powertrain warranty!
