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.

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)
This is how the Quickie Lubes do business. Unfortunately this behavior is
not the exception, it is the norm.....
http://www.nbc4.tv/mechanicinvestiga...04/detail.html
I understand you may not want to do some maintenance work yourself. Find
yourself an honest mechanic in your neighborhood and have him do it...
