Weeping gear oil (rear diff)
Still no answer to the question of why does gear oil travel up the vent
tube, and leak all over the garage floor. The level in the diff housing is quarter inch below fill hole. Bad oil? bad rear end? pressure? heat? abscense of gravity in that region? Greg |
Re: Weeping gear oil (rear diff)
It is contaminated, usually from water.

Re: Weeping gear oil (rear diff)
That's what I'm thinking too. The fix is to remove the cover, clean the
contaminated fluid out, and put fresh fluid of the correct type in there. Removing all of the contaminated fluid can be a problem, depending on what is actually in it. I think the real question is, "What did the local quick lube place do to this poor fellow's vehicle?" It's messy to change your own fluids, but then again this sort of thing hardly ever happens when you do.

Re: Weeping gear oil (rear diff)
I think what everyone is trying to tell you is either take it back to
quickie lube and have them do it correctly with gear lube that isn't derived from Red Chinese recycled waste tractor oil or buy some American made gear lube and do it correctly yourself. In either case you need to actually have the differential open. To do that you have to remove the 10 bolts that hold the cover on so you can look inside and see what is going on. You do not want to just drain and refill through the fill hole. All you need is a wrench and a tube of RTV. If you do go to quickie lube take your lawn chair open it up and watch as the tech works.... better yet take a video camera and film everything he does and get close-ups of the labels on all the containers they use....

Re: Weeping gear oil (rear diff)
I think what everyone is trying to tell you is either take it back to
quickie lube and have them do it correctly with gear lube that isn't derived from Red Chinese recycled waste tractor oil or buy some American made gear lube and do it correctly yourself. In either case you need to actually have the differential open. To do that you have to remove the 10 bolts that hold the cover on so you can look inside and see what is going on. You do not want to just drain and refill through the fill hole. All you need is a wrench and a tube of RTV. If you do go to quickie lube take your lawn chair open it up and watch as the tech works.... better yet take a video camera and film everything he does and get close-ups of the labels on all the containers they use....

Re: Weeping gear oil (rear diff)
Yes I am going to do it myself. I can do it , just lazy. I am though
going to ask them to see what they put in there. They put in additive as well based on what I don't know. I will not be letting them do anymore work for me, that's for sure. Anyway am going out today and adding a second jeep to the litter. A Grand Cherokee for the wife! Thanks for all the advice fellas. I really do appreciate it. Have a great holiday!!!

Re: Weeping gear oil (rear diff)
Well took it back to the lube place. They do not remove the cover to
replace the oil. So they put new expensive oil in a filthy housing. Nice huh? Well its cleaned up now and has 80w90 gear oil in it now. I hope this takes care of it!! Anyway no more trips to that place again! Thanks guys for all the input. As well I am going to pick up this afternoon a 2006 Grand Cherokee. Thanks again to all!!
