Differential cover leaking......Arh
 
I used a gasket and the permatex "Ultra Gray" gasket sealant. Yesterday when I was under my car, I noticed a drip hanging from the bottom of the diff. I retorqued the bolts, but its still leaking.:mad: So now I'm about to remove the cover, clean everything up and try again. Since the car hasn't been drivin yet, I'm planning to reuse the gear oil.
Wish me luck....:(

That's what you get for messing with shit that ain't broke. J/K, I'm sure you'll get it sealed up

Just trying to make it alittle better Hank.:)
You know how it goes, tamper with something that holds oil, and you risk the chance of leaks. Hopefully it won't leak this time.

Good luck with the drip.

Today I refilled the diff. Hopefully its sealed and won't leak. Might be taking it out for a test drive this weekend.:)
