Every where my drive lines go into theres a leak now,
Transfer,differentrals,trans,.
Whats going on?
Pulling to much weight ?
Shifting to sudden?
dirving it like a race car?
Or is it because i mixed diffrent types of gear oil and they are eating away at my seals?

if it stops leaking , you ran out of oil !!

all things leak .. some more than others , and as the truck gets older and seals start to get hard , leaks will happen and if you drive like me ... the pressure of running at max. speed and ability of the truck , things get hot and expand ... if it leaks a lot .. seals need to be replaced .. my rule of thumb is if i see a spray pattern on the back of the truck... seals need to be fixed ...... ( this does not include oil leaking from the Axel seals .. brakes are involved fix now !! )

Are your axle/trans breathers clogged? If the gear boxes/axles are allowed to build up excessive pressure, the fluids will be forced past the seals.

I would be concerned, mine does not leak a drop, especially out of anything but possibly the engine (on occasion).
