195 000 km no leaks yet
few other issues but at 195 000 kilometers on odo no axle seals yet
I did install outer axle tube seals at approx 100 000km when I did front axle u-joints so may have leak cannot see,oil level has not dropped though

Is everyone using stock diff covers or have you up-graded?If up-graded,don't measure your level by the after market fill hole,i have found this adds too much oil to the carrier,thus over filling and leaks will happen

08 jku 6sp. No off roading yet. I am the second owner. Only 35k miles. Being the second owner jeep dealership told me they would not replace the front passenger side seal under warranty. Is there an outside seal on the front axle. Everything is stock by the way.

08 jku 32k miles, replaced both rear seals and bearings pursuant to finding rear wheels to have play and leaking oil... Went ahead and did shafts too.
Brought it to the dealership they advised me that I've owned my jeep for greater than 3 years and basically turned me away.

Bought my new 2012 a few weeks ago and it had 9 miles on it. I had a 300 mile drive back home and when I got home I noticed the passenger side rear seal leaking. Took it to the dealer he next day and they found that the axle bearing was put in backwards from the factory. It got a new bearing, seal, retainer and fluid. I now have 900 miles on it and no issues. I was pretty disappointed at first but I realize things do happen.
