I'm just wondering is it a big job to change the pinion seal? Does it require the diff to be emptied? Is there also a guide on how to change it?

And yes you gotta drop the oil. If you pm me your mobile number I will take a picture of the workshop guide.Have you checked the oil level?

This then builds pressure in the diff & weeps from the seal. I've had mine cleaned & a oil change, haven't had an issue. This is a common problem for all diffs on all rwd cars. I would start there before you go pulling everything apart (yuk) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
