A couple other comments.
When you mess around with today's vehicles, you need to be sure you use
'sensor safe' RTV because the regular stuff will take out the O2 sensor
instantly. More than one person on this group has taken out the O2 by
using regular RTV on their front diff cover.
If you believe as I do that Jeeps shouldn't be 'marking their territory'
every time they stop by dripping oil all over, then it is 'highly'
recommended you use the directions on the RTV and let it cure before
adding fluid to it. For most of them, this cure time is about 24 hours.
The 'only' leak under my 86 CJ7 was caused by a shop that filled my back
diff right after RTVing the cover on.... That diff has been wet on the
bottom ever since. Grrr....
