Diff Seal Leaking

[ItWasntMe]

So, I serviced my car this weekend and noticed a leak coming from the driveshaft/diff. After having it checked over at a friends garage they confirmed it was a diff seal leaking? The car has done over 100,000 now so I guess it's no surprise for this to happen?

Is there anything else I should change/do when I replace the seal? Should I do both sides or just the side that's leaking?Where is the best place to get one from? Honda I'm guessing?

Not sure if it's the same thing or not but at the end of the driveshaft that goes into the box it has a sort of o-ring type seal. If these fail you'll loose oil. Can't imagine them being dear, just a bit fiddly getting the driveshaft out but it's not too bad. What I don't know is whether there is another seal inside the box? Hopefully not though otherwise its a gearbox open up job. Hopefully that new o-ring seal should fix it though. Try Dave Johnson at Steels Honda. If anyone can get them he can. Let us know how you get on
