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)
 

Heh, I am thinking that there is a chance they put engine oil in there by
mistake. I think you want to calmly explain to the lube shop service
manager what you told us, and that it started when you had them service the
vehicle. Then maybe he can figure something out.
