A small leak from the adjuster nut o'ring and axle seal can spark an immediate action from the AWD folks. There are two corrective steps to take before you go on to the remove and seal path. 1) Purchase AG fluid to Volvo spec -- Synthetic 75W90 such as Mobile, Valvoline. 2) Drain and fill AG to corr...
