How to fix a transmission fluid leak from the axle seal in a Suzuki Bolan?

A friend mentioned that leaks from the axle seal are common in the Bolan. How can I confirm if the axle seal is the source? Is this a DIY fix o r does it require a mechanic? How much does it typically cost in Pakistan?

If the leak is coming from where the axle connects to the transmission, it’s most likely due to a damaged output shaft axle seal. This is a common issue in Bolan vans that are heavily used, especially in load-carrying o r bumpy conditions.

Signs of a leaking axle seal:

Red fluid around the axle joint.

Oil splatter on the inside of the wheel o r brake area.

Noise o r vibration during gear shifts if fluid level s too much.

Fixing process:

Mechanic lifts the vehicle.

Removes the axle from the transmission.

Pulls out the old seal.

Presses in a new, OEM o r high-quality seal.

Reinstalls the axle and refills the transmission fluid.

Cost in Pakistan:

Seal price: Rs. 400–1,000

Labor: Rs. 1,500–3,000
Avoid driving with a leaking seal—it can lead to transmission damage if fluid s below safe levels.
