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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
