hey while on the subject of diff fluid heres a question. Is it ok for some fluid to be comming out of the front diff rite where the shaft from the transfer case comes in? my guess is no. its not just a little, it seems to be comming out quite well, and its getting splashed around in a circular fashion. its up on the engine as well. Its draining down to the diff plug, and then is pooling a little on the shield.
heres some pics, i made an appointment on monday with the dealership. Do you guys think its ok to drive like this untill then, dont really know how much has already come out?
this where its coming from
heres some splashed up on the engine around it
here from the front along the shaft
heres it draining to around where the bolt is (lowest point on diff) and then falls on the shiled
The fluid doesnt seem to be coming out when the shft isnt rotating, so i cant tell the rate at which it comming out.
so as asked earlier do you guys think its ok to drive around until monday? and also for that to be fixed does it requre a new diff, or just a replacement of the connection there?
thanks for any help.
