I have a 2000 Crown Vic LX the other day when I went to get out of the car I noticed a hot over heated type of smell. Then I took the wheel off and there was my answer a leaking aroung where the wheel mounts the guy looking at it told me it was a leaking seal. He also stated the new would be if you ignore it you will ruin the rear end on the vehicle. DOES THIS SOUND RIGHT? If so, what is involved in replacing this seal? This was on the right side. Then to a much lesser degree I noticed a simialr thing on the left side but much less of a leak.
I need some suggestions and typically what is the cost of this job at a middle of the road priced mechanic not a dealership cost. Please share your thoughts.
Is it just as simple as replacing the seal then add back the oil that leaked out?? What are some of the proper steps in this process??? THANKS FOR THE INPUT!!
