my rear diff has a slow leak, the diff started making a bit a noiseon the to my gf house tonight, i cant tend to the seal till this weekend or tomorrow night but i have a bit of a drive from my gf house to work and then work blah blah... wanted to know what kind of fluid, and if its just regular gear oil, going to have my gf uncle add some in the AM when he opens up his shop then fix the seals later, if the seal is real bad i might let him change it if he can but i dought it..
if it makes a bit of noise is that usually then end of the rear diff.. or do i have a chance..

 

i guess it could be a wheel bering.. never thought about that till now..dam..

 

I've got a leaky seal too, and have had it since i owned the car. It weeps a bit, but i see nothing on the ground so I'm not worried. Check the wheel bearings. Replace your diff fluid and fix the seal then you'll know what it is.

Too bad I'm too lazy to fix mine...

 

thanks for the input.. i will check the bearings on the lift in the am, and put some oil in just to be safe.. take it easy im out..

 

Redline makes some good oil just an FYI if you know what type to put in the car.

 

the diff was filled.. there must be a bad bearing inside, or the onset of one, its not to loud... going to have to take it apart i guess and see whats going on, probibly do it next weekend, my budy is leaving to pick up an audi project car so i cant use the garage this weekend.. just dont know were to buy the parts..
anyone know where i can get like a rebuild kit of the diff? or just a place for parts?

 

mine seems to be weeping at the axles but it not much so f* it

 

The output shaft seals are $3.00 but **** it.

 

rear Axel very minor leak not justified for a strip down, refill with a leak seal lubricant like slick50 bearing is totally different sound from the rear and only heard while on the move ( it increases the faster you go ) also jacking the wheel off the ground and rotating it you should here a course crunchy sound

 

well the diff was full and i checked the wheel bearings, i found a good used diff for $100 about 50 miles from my house im going to pick it up this weekend replace the seals, refill it and install it..
