I'm going insane trying to figure this out.

Where exactly are the axle oil seals on the FAD (passenger) side?

1) By the pumpkin?
2) Outside the FAD?
- Should the FAD have gear oil from the diff inside it to lube the sliding collar?

Can anyone provide a link to a some sort of diagram that explains it all? I found an exploded view with numbers pointing to the various parts, but no key to describe what the numbers mean.

My FAD is leaking gear oil after a re-gear and I'm trying to figure out if it's an axle seal problem or a FAD seal problem.

Thank you!

Open up the FAD and you will see the seal at the outside edge of the FAD area (for lack of a better word). Yes, the FAD should have a small amount of gear oil inside it. That is why the seal was moved to be outside the FAD - you need lubrication on the collar.
