Hi can any of you more knowledgeable fellows help with a couple of questions.
I have developed an oil leak from the front seal on the diff, just a couple of drips.
I had the bloody diff out a couple of weeks ago while doing a body off no problems with it then i just changed the oil now its all back together its decided to leak.
The diff performs fine no clunks or wines, i have now taken the exhaust and prop off and the pinion nut is loose just about finger tight.
How tight should this be? if i nip it up will this stop the leak, if not how hard is it to change the seal thanks.
