Sweating at pinion bearing seal
Cause:
Before starting repair work to rectify leaks, carefully check what type of leak is present at the affected major assembly.
Moist areas from which no fluid is dripping off or draining away are within normal operating parameters. These are
caused by the phenomenon of "sweating" (see attachment).
This "sweating" cannot be avoided and does not have any negative effects.This sweating may also be caused by pregreasing of the pinion sealing ring.
Remedy:
Repairs due to sweating only produce an aesthetic improvement and are not covered under warranty.
To perform a precise check, clean the affected area thoroughly with a cloth and monitor over an appropriate period of
time (approx. 1 week or max. 60 miles).
If necessary, check the rear axle oil level and the housing ventilation up to the frame crossmember.
If fluid is dripping or draining off visibly, a leak is present which must be eliminated by performing appropriate repair
work as described in WIS.
If a leak is present, also replace the standard oil drain screw with a magnetic oil drain screw A 000 990 58 17.
