Re: Leaking gear oil.
Does your vent tubes extend up beyond the 'air intake line?' On mine,
differential vent tubes use rubber tubing that attach at the differential, and run up high; the front diff. terminates next to the top of the radiator, and I'm not sure where the rear terminates; this keeps water out during river crossings and lets the internal pressures equalize when the cold water hits the warm metal casing, preventing fluid from escaping or entering through the vent tube itself or through the axle seals. I'm just wondering if tubing that hooked into that fixed 'vent tube' fitting is missing? If so, that might account for the spillage. Overfilling and wrong fluid type can also contribute. |

Re: Leaking gear oil.
The oil is like molasses this time of year. Even in the summer you can
seriously over fill one of these axles, even with a hand pump. The recommendation in the owner's manual is probably half an inch below the fill plug too. I recommend you take the fill plug off and let any excess drain into a pan. It is also possible that the new oil you put in there is of poor quality and prone to foaming. Consider using a synthetic for improved cold weather performance too.
