differential breather hose leaking?

Featured Replies

1990 Legacy Auto AWD. There are 2 hoses coming off the top of the front differential - near the differential dipstick. One is leaking/draining on the starter, which then runs down and ends up on the exhaust.

 

I had all the diff fluids changed about 1 month ago and the dipstick shows overly full....just drain some out and it'll be good?

 

Thanks

Yes, I'd suction or drain to the full mark. If it's overly full, it's probably churning up in there real good and maybe sloshing up and out the breather hose. Is it ATF or gear oil coming out?

I'm 90% sure it's gear oil, just because of the smell and color.

 

Thanks for the info.
