Guys, I'm a little frustrated to say the least. I was replacing front rotors and pads on my '06 this weekend and also changed the brake fluid. Very basic with my wife pumping the pedal and me working the bleeders, but when I was doing the rear calipers I noticed my pinion seal leaking on my SE 6 spd with the M226 axle.
Before we get far into this I have to tell you this is the 2nd time this thing has leaked on me, the first time was replaced by the dealer under warranty but now the truck has 75k miles and I'm really not happy. I had to help my friend replace his pinion seal and wheel end axle seal on his '05 Nismo (now his other axle seal is leaking).
What I want to know is how many of you have had pinion seals leak? Also, how many have had leak issues with this axle period? I have had the diff cover leak from the factory as well; I've since fixed that by pulling, cleaning, and using new RTV, but still, I think this is ridiculous how many people have had leaks with this axle.
I'm going to talk to the dealer and see if they can help me out on this, if not I guess I know what I'll be doing on a Saturday soon. This blows because I have about $50 worth of Amsoil Severe Gear in there as well!!
