Diff fluid leak
« on: December 20, 2009, 06:12:41 PM »
Just noticed a spot of oil on the driveway and started looking to see where it was coming from.  Looks like the rear diff is leaking fluid but not sure excactly from where on the diff.  The picture I pulled off the site it's dripping from the exact place where there is oil residue on the pic.

Yeah I'm taking it to the dealer tomorrow for another repeat problem and will have them look at it.  My front passenger side isolator bushing is bad again after just 8 mos.
