Diff leak EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi
went out to car yesterday and there is a puddle of oil in the passenger footwell
traced it back to the diff
upon inspection as Ive never had to mess with a diff before I just take for granted they work it appears the oil is quite happily flowing from the big
NUT on the front flange
however the nut is tightened up
the diff has the right amount of oil in
and the breather is clear
I read in a previous post Im asking for it I i take the bolt fully off I take it the seals gone
what shall I do
thanks chris

sorry but im a little unclear about something.
Are you in a round about way saying your unsure about how you go about servicing a ford diff ?
If your not to sure about what your doing, it might be best to let a specialist re-build the diff for you, or just fit another dry one.....
Another question (sorry) are you the newly appointed build agent for MNR ?
"That thing you're thinking - it wont be that."

How did oil from the diff get to the passenger footwell, is your transmission tunnel closed underneath?

If it's a Sierra one and you're on about the bolt that holds the front flange on, just take it off, put a new seal in te diff and tighten
the nut back up.
Did it on my Avon and it was fine.
I take it you've unbolted the prop?

Hi Pat,
Yes I have undone the prop, its the main bolt on the front of the diff I shall get a new seal kit for it.
Thanks for advise.
Chris
(Ps The reason why oil was in the passenger foot well was because the car was on a slight slant.)

Might have come from me as I've got it somewhere as well if anyone wants it.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.
