I new to the forum but an old Pontiac man, starting with a 68 Firebird that I kept for 22 years. I'm a pretty good mechanic but not really up to speed on a lot of the new tech things. We have a 2000 GT, 3.8 auto with all the options. Yesterday check guages flashed on the HED, the low oil level light was going on and off. I stopped and found it was just about of oil. I filled it up but it was near empty when I got it home. I jacked it up and it looks like the oil is pouring out of the passengers side of the transaxle where the half shaft enters it. I wasn't aware that the transaxle was lubricated with engine oil or I'm really missing something. If I'm right can anyone give me some information on how to change the bearing and seal. I've been noticing some noise coming from that side but I thought it was the CV joint. If it was the bearing and it is lubed with engine oil, I'd better change both if it's possible.
Thanks for any advice, Tony
