So I ran my ATV into some deep snow this morning, and as I put on AWD, and reversed out, I smelt fireworks. I know nobody was lighting fireworks at 7AM so I checked the ATV and found my front diff had a small leak.

The drive shaft is firm, and it isn’t dripping, the oil is only noticeable on the diff housing(though i did my best to go slow and w/o 4×4 on my way home).

Just like to know what my process would be to fix it, how hard to do, part cost, and if it’d be worth it to bring it into a shop.

Thanks in advance,

One
