Default Re: Rearend Leak

Another source of a leak is someone chased the threads with an ordinary tap. I have a rear end the "restorer" did that to. I drained the diff and one by one, I removed the bolts, thoroughly cleaned the threads (male and female) and put them back with some Permatex #3 on them. That helped but it still leaves a little oil on the ground over time.
