Also it looks like the rear cover on the diff has an oil leak and I am trying to decide if I can get it off without having to drop the rear axle. Looks like it is not too bad a job to remove the diff mount....
I am extemely busy for the next couple of weeks so expect updates when I get more time to tackle the beastie. |
Obviously I can't see it from here......but generally the covers don't tend to leak.
It's usually one of the 3 rotating shaft seals that leaks and then the oil migrates to the lowest point.
But if you are taking the cover off, take a pic for all to see.
Further, you might take the opportunity to clean the breather at the top of the diff.
