I'm driving my 86 Vanagon GL too fast (80+) up hill and she spewed her gear oil all over the side of the trans case. I was able to drive her 100 miles home with no problems or strange noises. I filled her up with gear oil started her up to look for leaks, no leaks. Test drove her up to 55mph, still no leaks. Any ideas which seal this might be? If it's the axle seal how hard is it to get the axle cup off? Should a puller do the trick without bending it?
