Front differential oilis overfilled , dark and funky-

Greetings all

While taking care of a routine PM yesterday I ran across this. It has wet brakes, possible brake piston seals leaking into differential housing?

The axle is lubricated by means of the transmissionmounted
lubricant pump which gets oil from the
axle suction port and supplies it to the hub section
pressure parts to lubricate and cool hub drive
and multi-disc brakes.
Oil returns to the sump through the drive shaft bearings
and axle housing. Brakes get their pressure from the brake valve, in the case where the brakes would have leakage you'd fill the front axle with transmission fluid, braking power should be poor since leakage occurs, pedal pressure would be noticable lower.

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
