I only own and ride drive shaft bikes. First thing I do is check it to see if it is OK or needs a top up. Then maybe every three years I might change it out.
Your bike is an '05 model so you might want to change it out.
If your going to do it at home, make sure you get the right type for your bike. But get more than 1 litre get at least 5 litres.
Remove the fill up screw, and then the drain screw. Drain all the oil out, put the drain screw back in. Fill it back up again, rotate the wheel a few times. Then remove the drain screw and then drain out all the oil.
Now leave the drain screw out, pour new gear oil in while you slowly rotate the wheel. This will remove all the metal swarf that may have accumulated in the diff. Keep pouring and rotating until what comes out is the same that is going in. Now put the drain screw back in and top up the specs, or just below the lowest edge of the fill hole. Replace the fill bolt tighten and then ride and enjoy.
You won't need to touch it for another 5 years.

Dealer replaced driver side frt wheel bearing. When I got home and looked under frt end there is a lot of fluid dripping off center casing car has never leaked adrop before what could have happened

Some driveshafts are retained in the differential by a circlip and can't be disturbed accidentally during a wheel bearing change or other similar work.

Some driveshafts aren't retained and can easily be displaced during a wheel bearing change. If the greatest care isn't taken during the refit the differential side (driveshaft) oil seal can be damaged and I expect that is where the fluid is leaking from.

How do you replace rear oil seal in 1994 Isuzu Standard tranmission

Chockblock front wheels to prevent truck rolling, and jack vehicle up and place a jackstand under frame to prevent vehicle falling. Remove driveshaft, seal is now visible to be pried out for new one to be lightly tapped into place with a rubber mallet or hammer, along with a wooden block, taking care to keep new seal straight while replacing. replace driveshaft and check fluid level, lower vehicle and remove chockblocks.

Hi, What is the part number or size of the driveshaft to differential oil seal? Can the oil seal be changed if the driveshaft is removed?

Don't remove any seal until a drip becomes a flow.
quite often you will find when you replace seal any way that the drip still persists.

What type oil does the rear end and driveshaft use.

For the final drive oil you can use any 80/90 Hypoid gear oil. If you choose a synthetic Hypoid gear oil your rear end will run cooler. One quart of oil is enough for 4 or 5 rear end oil changes. Because the rear ends are so expensive ($1000), I change my rear end oil every other oil change.

Oil leak from driveshaft n/s

not sure if you can interchange the manual & aut shafts, but you should check to see if there is excessive play where the shaft enters the gear box if so the diff bearings my be worn, if there is no play or noises from gear box when driving, remove the shaft again an try the seal on the shaft to check it's a proper fit, before fitting seals it is a good idea to leave them soaking in oil for a few hours prior to fitting

hope this helps

Regards
