Default Front diff leaking and driver side cv joint

I got to looking under my h3 and the cv joint for the driver side had fluid on it from what it looks like the seal leaking and also the same way where the driveshaft goes into the front chunk I plan on doing it all this weekend done this before but not on a hummer or a front end only a rear end and i was wondering if this is common with 100k miles and how long and hard is it to do

Yes it's not leaving a spot on the ground but I wanna get it fixed before its to late and there is fluid everywhere also the shaft is wet with fluid along with the cv joint where it comes out of the chunk on drivers side

Yeah, the seals leaking on any IFS rig is pretty common. There is a writeup here on half shaft replacement. Follow those steps and replace the seals. Not a super hard job. The first one will take a while but you will be much faster on the second side.

I think the driveshaft seal is a little more complex, caution,read all about it first.

Seals last longer when you stay out of the mud.

Without the pic I can't be sure, but it sounds like the same problem I had last week. No noise, but leaking. Dealer replaced front left output shaft and seal, covered under 'Powertrain Warranty'. Apparently this is a common failure.
