Where is it leaking from?? if its leaking from where one of the shafts are you can just replace the seals

If you cant tell where its coming from then do this.. this is how i found my leak..

Clean it off with some kind of cleaner/degreaser.. then once its clean start the truck up and turn the wheels all the way to the left and right (All the way till the wheels stops turning) a couple times then cut it off and look at the box.. you should be able to tell where the fluid is coming from then..

Get a seal kit from the parts store. It has every seal for the box so you can change as many as you want. I think it was around $10.

It just depends on how bad the leak is... Mine would leak to the point i could fill it up at night and it would be empty by morning.. I put lucas in it and it lasted 3 days then slowly started leaking again.. but If you have a minor leak lucas might stop it... If it were me I would just replace the seals.. I found out its not near as hard as it seems and it will end up being a much better result..
