baccaruda Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 so my car's been sitting for a month. I hope to start it tomorrow after putting in the radiator and setting the timing.. but there's a little puddle of gear oil under the rear differential. I'm aware that seals can shrink and leak a little when a car isn't used.. the leak is at the front of the diff where the case receives the input from the driveshaft. Might I expect this leak to go away when I drive the car regularly again? I have no problem with getting an open 3.7 diff and swapping my LSD pumpkin over, but i thought I'd ask if this is likely to be a permanent problem? and yes I'll top it off before driving regardless thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Andy, any shop can spin the pinion/coupler off and install a new seal for you. Shouldn't take long either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XSNRG Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Andy, I have a FSM supp. that has the procedure for that, looks real easy, let me know if you need it. All you need is a new seal and a dial inch pounds torque wrench. This can be done in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
