Default Front Differential Leaking 2015 Jk

I recently installed a Rough Country Front CV Driveshaft for 3.50 to 6-Inch Lift on my 2015 JK. I did this to fix a clicking, it stopped the clicking. While driving 80W is coming out around the flang. I replaced the pinon, still oil is coming out. Any ideas?

Welcome to JK Forum... Your thread stated replaced the pinon.. did you replace the seal? Correct Seal or Could be a damaged seal.

yup, you have a leaking pinion seal there. i absolutely hate removing pinion nut, and that is the biggest drawback changing to a yoke from the factory flange.

I did my rear by changing the yoke and no leaks. Just torque it up to 120 and use blue loctite on it. Try leaving it overnight for the loctite to cure before driving. Are you sure the pinion is tight? Bit floppy and it will wreck the seal pretty quick.
