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.

Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
Oh sorry wasn't even thinking of were fill plug was, yes on a 9" it's in
the front, part of the 3rd member, my AMC 20 is also in the front, only part of a D 35 I have had anything to do with is swapping them. Last one was an 2004 Explorer Sport Track 8.8, got it for $100.00, only had 3000 miles on it, disk breaks and limited slip.

Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
I wonder if the tech that serviced your vehicle inadvertently squirted some
gear oil in the vent tube. It could splash in there maybe. If that is the case it should stop coming out after some time.

Re: Weeping gear oil 95 YJ
Hmmm.....
Are you sure you are looking at the vent line and it's gear oil? The vent line will be a 3/8" ID or so line with a plastic fitting and cap on the end of it. It should be pointing straight up. You also will have a mess of lines back there that are the gas tank vent and roll over check valve. These would lead up to a charcoal canister under the hood. If one of these are leaking, you might get some goey sludge out of it. I think the unit is on the other side though, but don't know on a 95. Likely there are two lines coming off either side of the top of the gas tank leading to one line like the CJ has.
