Default Any C4s with front differentiel leaks?

I have seen some seapage on the plastic cover, and I'm thinking I may have a slow leak on the front diff.
Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks,

G

Count me in. Came up on the OPC's PPI when I bought the car 18 months ago., but they didn't seem to think it was anything serious - it was slight seepage, as you describe. 2 services later, no mention and no trouble.
Would be interested in what you dig up, G.

Make sure it's not your steering rack that is leaking.

Mine leaked too. Replaced the Seal & all OK now. Not an expensive job to fix. I'd have it done though. The last thing you want is the diff running without any oil in it!

I had a small leak between the drive shaft and the housing. The repair was not expensive. I recommend getting it fixed. I suspect the replacement cost for one of our differentials is very high.

Thanks guys, I plan on doing fluids soon, and will examine this area and report findings.

Thanks,

Greg
