1st, Every time I am on a free road and I speed up, I hear a constant noise (roaring) between the two front legs (not on the front legs), I suspected it was the front axle but when I visited the workshop, and they observed there was oil in the axle. What could be causing the noise/the problem?

2. Just recently I observed that the ABS light has come on my dashboard, also the sign "4WD" flashes on the dashboard every 4mins or more. Please what could be the problem?

3. Every time I services the car, and the engine oil gauged, but after a month of continuous usage, when I re-check the oil gauge, it would have gone down below gauge, But I have never noticed any Oil drops on the floor of where the car is parked. Please what could be causing this?

I crave your assistance and guidance.

Thank you.

Have wheel bearings checked for first problem as well as axles, they can still have oil but joints can be bad. Scan for codes for abs, that is causing the 4wd problem maybe a pro will find both codes. For third problem have it checked for a head gasket problem like leaking or blown.

Thank you very much for the heads up. Though I do not have absolute confidence on the mechanics here in Nigeria, however I will have the axle checked as advised.

I will revert to you in case the need arises.

Thank you.
