front axle leak

[pastormikey]

i own a lb1914 and i have notice a oil leak right at the cap on the front axle. anybody have any idea what is causing the leak i see no cracks in the fill cap and i don't see any seal leaks.

Could be too full. Take it off and clean the cap and check how full the axle is.
The cap is also the vent for the front axle.

The oil should only come up to about the middle of the indicator inside the glass front. If you overfill it, as stated earlier, it will overflow.

If this is the case, let some out until you can see the level at the halfway mark.
