ARB Locker problems

Recently I found a puddle of gear oil below my battery box on my carryall. I looked into it and found that the oil was coming out the air intake on the air compressor for the ARB Locker. It seems that that is not too uncommon of a problem. The cause is with the O rings in the locker where the air pressure is applied. The fix is to remove the locker pull the side bearing on the side where the air lines goes into the locker and then replace the O rings. This issue is caused by rolling an O ring upon installation or an O ring failure. In my case I suspect that the O ring failed since it has been many years since i installed it and have not had any leaks. Now to pull the differential out.
