Title: Leaking Diff
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 10 September 2008, 16:24:16
My diff has oil dripping off it - it seems on a first inspection that it could be coming from where the prop from the autobox goes into the diff.

Any ideas if there's a seal etc that can be changed? :y

Also, what oil do these diff's use?

You should have gone to Newent James.. :-X ;)

Diff pinion seal I think it is.  But I would check the level first as it may look worse than it is.

Lol, need to get the overalls out and air them as they are stinking the garage out......fortunately the last of it came out of my hair on Tuesday!

I also have a soldering iron here for you (and one for TB)  :y
Not to bad a job, 1.5 hours on a camp site and can be done without to many special tools (30mm deep socket is the only one)
