Default Re: Differential oil leak..HELP!

I did read it, I was just trying to address what may be a potential secondary leak. There does seem to be a lot of oil all around the rear.

So I would think that the bolts should be removed one by one, the washers removed, the holes cleaned and de-greased, but not retapped and the bolts refitted without any washers. you might add a smear of sealant if you want.

How does that sound??

Dear Mart!

In each bolts are with grovers washers, but I discovered that one side of he banjo have 9/16 bolts and in the other side has 16 mm bolts.

In torsion tube that take connection to transmission are 9/16 bolts.

In 16mm bolts were loose with a minimun leak but not in 9/16 bolts were dry.

Very loose were in tube torsion, today I changed the grease totally. No leak still today.

I really are a lot of thing that I am discovering that never happened me.

Please is important your observation and help me a lot

Thank you
Hary
