Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
 

Hi Mike. Nope no water yet unless you count playing in a foot of snow
any measure of water! I just went to the garage to check the level. It
is almost full. The plug probably could use replacing. It is dry and
has a few cracks around the edges, but other than that it still spits
from the vent tube and I don't know why. It is very baffling!! Thanks
for the input. I appreciate it all. Thanks.

Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
 

I had the same problem with my son's '94 YJ. An easy fix would be to pop out
the rubber fill plug and let it drip out until it stops dripping.

That fixed our overfill problem.

Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
 

Have you or preveous owner had a slip yoke installed, new driveshaft and
pinion tilted up towards transfer case, if so fill plug level wont mean
much. My daughter's 9" will hold a quart more then it's supposed to, filling
it to fill hole will force it out the vent tube and eventual blow the axle
seals out.

Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
 

Why would it hold more with the pinion tilted up? Is the fill hole in the
front on a nine inch? The OP likely has a D35, which has a rubber fill plug
in the diff cover.
