Leaks at the front and/or rear differential pinion seal and from the transfer case are common. Low fluid level in the differential or transfer case can result in bearing failure. Damaged bearings commonly cause a whine or growl type noise.

    i am having exactly the same problem, I already replaced the wheel bearings and the mechanic told me that my differential is out, that either get a new one or rebuild will fix the problem, he said it will cost between $850.00 to $1000.00 to fix this problem, he also said that the bearings in the differential need to be change, I found this cost extremely expensive, my speed sensor went bad, already replaced but my speedometer still not working, I noticed some like oil leaks from the differential. How expensive will be to fix this problem, what is the risk of me driving long distances? please help.

    Leak found by Jeep dealer during oil change. Seal changed that very day - this Jeep has a lifetime powertrain warranty without any deductible (!!) and also a purchased lifetime bumper to bumper warranty with a $100 deductible. Total cost here: $0.00
    I'll report on any other issues as we go along.
