I have a leak underneath differential and loud thumping noise when making wide turns. Front right tire was worn and warped bad. What could be my issue? Thanks in advance.

Good afternoon,

Is the thumping from the rear end?

Can you upload a video of the noise and some pictures of the leak as well?

Okay, thank you.

The noise sounds like possible spider gears damage in the differential.

I attached a picture of the location of the gears.
