O rings leaking
Apparently my trans/diff O ring is failing as are both axle O rings at the diff.
Just minor wetness.
Question is how long might they stay in passing shape.
I understand O rings never get better but with the low miles I drive am thinking of letting them go.
The car sees maybe 4,000 a year and not driven hard at all.
37,500 miles presently.
I was quoted about $650 to repair and understand the cradle needs to be dropped.

A little sweating is not a big deal and I would be surprised if all three were actually leaking, only because it's a heck of a coincidence. Maybe post a couple of pics to get a few more opinions...

The Diff/ Trans leak has a few spots on the traverse spring. Not much but is present. The axle rings is more of a sweat. I was told to fix the latter at the same time due to getting to fixing the diff/trans leak, saving labor on a later fix. Eventually needed.

Ya, well not Rich specifically regarding this issue but one of his techs. He said I could wait some but seals never get better. Actually he wasn't pressuring me but thought it good to get done sooner than later. The diff/trans is the leak to fix the axle seals are just sweating some but do them when I get the other done.
I guess I am going to wait some as I really do not drive the car much, 4,000 yearly.
