Oil underbody, is it too much?

Yup, the ****** dipstick is on the passenger side back against the fire wall and its the only other dip stick besides the engine oil. Hard to miss.

The coolant is called HOAT or G05 in the kj.

The ****** doesnt seem to be leaking real bad so you could get that fixed as you have time. Mine has dripped a few times but Ill take care of that next time I change the ****** fluid..

My front pinion has been leaking for a little over a year now but its not as bad as yours. Just stays a little wet around the pinion.

Personally we buy diff oil in 5 gallon buckets and its 75w-140, so I use that in everything.

He used 85W140, I couldn't find 75 being sold here. Old seal was simply warped and pulled in two places across from each other as if someone stretched it like tug-of-war.

I don't know how to check the fluid in those areas.. So I guess I am just concerned about the wetness. I picked up the pinion seal to get it replaced. What is the proper fluid/oil to be top it off with? (Differential)

75-140 full synthetic for both diffs. 85-140 should be OK, it may have some effect in cold weather wher it does not flow as well as the 75.

BTW, todays synthetic oils are not actually thicker or thinner according to their number designation, it has to do with the chemical additives, and how they react to the heat and cold of the mechanism in use. i.e., 75-140 will act like a 75 weight gear oil when it is cool/cold, and will act like a 140 weight gear oil when it is heated. Obviously, 140 weight gear oil is made for handling heat caused by the stress of towing, off-roading, etc. Most of what is available in the 75-140 grade is full synthetic that has extreme resistance to breaking down from heat, and will maintain it's viscosity longer under tough conditions. That's why I recommended it.

What you described is all multiviscosity oils, not just synthetics.
