Redhawk ....Time to lay this fairytale aside...... Donating Members 2,657 Member For: 22y 1m 22d Gender: Male Location: In the Ferry on the River Styx, not getting out just yet! Posted 07/07/03 03:10 PM Share Posted 07/07/03 03:10 PM HELP!!!!!!Found a ugly pool (small) of oil on the garage floor under the diff this arvo, without getting the jack out would sumise that the diff seal is leaking. Anyone else had this problem?Have run a search and found heaps on driveline shunt but nothing regarding seal leaks. And yeah have got a bang from the diff when changing gear.The 'Bird' is into the dealers tomorrow, as soon as I mentioned the diff seal the service guy said" We will need it for the day" What gives If they mention exhaust mods I'll load up the 'coon gun No jokes please.....yeah yeah I know, what goes around.....etc; Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/4243-leaking-diff-seal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else had this problem?One of our Canberra members BlueXR6T had a similar (worse I think!) diff problem with his car, dealer fixed it up no worries under warranty. With mine the seal wasn't put in correctly from the start and sprayed oil all over the back of the car under pressure. Ford replaced the whole diff in mine. but that was 11000 km ago Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/4243-leaking-diff-seal/#findComment-34463 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhawk ....Time to lay this fairytale aside...... Donating Members 2,657 Member For: 22y 1m 22d Gender: Male Location: In the Ferry on the River Styx, not getting out just yet! Posted 08/07/03 05:08 AM Author Share Posted 08/07/03 05:08 AM Thanks for the input guys.Got the Bird back, nothing major, the face plate bolts were a little loose. A few turns of the trusty ol spanner, check the oil level cleaned her down, right as ninepence AND they only had it for 3 hours The service guy loved the exhaust and was impressed with the job Perth Exhaust Centre had done (on ya Don ). And loved the note B)AND manuals are still more FUN kt :D Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/4243-leaking-diff-seal/#findComment-34523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
