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.  |

Just to follow up on this issue. I did drain the gear oil clean things up and applied jb weld. Turns out there were two leaks and I missed one. So drained things again cleaned it up again and applied jb weld again. So far so good.
Once that stopped leaking I did find that the o-ring and/or seal on the shifter console was leaking so I got to drain the gear oil again and replace the o-ring and seal. While I was there I replaced all the shifter bushing so in the end fewer leaks and better shifting. bonus. |
