Help! Leak at diff / CV axle, clunky clacky noise as well

[Tyler]

I have a clunky noise when rolling at less than 8 mph, but there is no noise or vibration if I go faster. And no difference in 4wd either. I found a class II leak coming out of both sides of the diff, seemingly worse on passenger side. My quick guess is the CV axle splines are busted, causing the noise, and allowing fluid to get out. What do you guys think?

Did you ever figure it out? I started getting a similar clunky noise, but of course, it wasn't repeatable in front of my mechanics this morning haha. Was looking for more of a diagnosis than a fix though - I'm sure I could swap a cv in my driveway just fine. We looked at alignment/ball joints too and all looked fine there.

I didn’t do anything yet. Been busy with family medical stuff. But I will for sure post what it was and how I fixed it when I’m done.

Just picked up the seals. Is one side smaller than the other side?
