Dana 60 inner axel seal?

Post by montanahighboy »

I recently began to notice what appears to be differential fluid leaking around the rear brake drum on one side of the Dana 60 full floating rear on my '68 F-250 highboy. Is this an inner axel seal or could it be something else? Thanks in advance.

Hub seal. No seals inside the axle. Front axles have inner axle seals, rears do not.

Thanks, I was looking at the manual wondering about that. Should be an easy fix.
