Re: Leaking gear oil.
 

You didn't speciy which type of 80-90, but it sounds like it is
foaming? I hope it was a major name brand and you should make
CERTAIN that it was GL-5 rated.

I have had my 95 model since new and installed Royal Purple Synthetic
at about 10,000 miles. I used the 84-140 per the owners manual for
"extreme use or trailer towing" and have changed it at 50,000 mile
intervals. Mine has 240,000 trouble free miles so far...

Good stuff!
