Hello,
I had my differential resealed this spring - it was out for this purpose. After experiencing posi noise an additional bottle of posi fluid was added. Some diff. oil had to be removed. So far so good.
Now I discovered that it is leaking - where the spring bolts are. I brought the car to the shop and they'll have a closer look tomorrow - removing the spare tire and its mounting for bettr view. Asked if they know about the problem of cover crack they said no. Having had a short look they said that the oil could come from the top, but the air vent doesn't show a trace of oil.
Suppose that they won't find an obvious leak - what is a suitable and easy methode to check if the bolts cracked the cover. Remove/Reinstall one by one to see if oil is dripping and the bolt thread is oily?
I may be in need for some arguments.
Regards
Oliver
