Hello,
Unhappy
I have a re-occuring problem with a rear axle seal leaking.  The van is a 2000 GMC 3500.  I have changed the seal many times and it contiues to leak.  New bearings, etc.  The seal surface appears to be fine.  The vent is clear... I have stumped many local mechanics.  I had 1 guy tell me to change the entire rear end because the seal is leaking... hmmmmm   anyone have this problem????

Wow,  Is it a Butler system?  I have around 85,000 miles and 3800 hours on a butler system..  I have not had any major repairs to the butler system.  I had an intake manifold gasket leak on the truck and of course the never ending axle seal leak..overall o.k.  Any snow left up there??
