Howdy,
I noticed a newish leak under the car. So I clean up the bottom best I could and let it sit for a bit. The leak appears to just seep through the case slowly but consistently. Maybe a defect or small crack? I'm wondering what my options are here? Only solved with a new case or is there a band aid until this can be bundled with other related maintenance? Cheers.  |

@rjames I hear what you are saying so I've double checked again. I can wipe it all down and actually watch the next drop form. It's like digging a hole in the sand and watching water fill it in. The exact spot has a bit of a different texture if I run my finger over it. As for the ring area you highlighted can the case just be that porous and is saturated with gear oil?
I'll give the jb weld a shot but not sure how well it will work as the drip re-forms so fast that I doubt I can get it clean and dry long enough for the jb to set up. |
