Hi guys,
Ok after shifting around the car this weekend, sticking a few new mounts in and generally checking everything out, I noticed some gear oil on the floor at the back of the car :-/
So getting under the rear i see a little hang of oil on the rear diff!! Smelt like **** and isn't red....
So i'm guessing diff oil leak somewhere.... having a look around I cant see where its coming from but it looks like mainly from around the square plate bit...
Having read a little bit about propshaft seals and stuff I dont think its coming from around there.. any suggestions guys... I mean anything else it could be coming from ... i understand the drain and filler plug would probably be the other main culprits but could it be anything else??
Does the square plate have AYC fluid(red stuff) behind it or gear oil???
Cheers
