Hi,
I have a 996 cab, 3.4, 1999, 70 kmiles. After changing the ATF of my tipro gearbox thanks to your great tuto, my gearbox is working like a new one !...I took this opportunity to change as well the oil of the differential. I drained it by aspiration by the fill plug and poured about 0.9 litres of new 75W90 oil up to overflow by the fill plug. However I have now a leak of oil dripping at the bottom of the differential enough to spoil my garage floor, this is not a huge leak though. I have checked the fill plug torque which is OK. What do you recommend to do to fix it ? __________________ This post was auto-generated based upon a question asked on our tech article page here: |

I have seen this on a few cars. The seal on the side of the differential is probably to blame, but just to make sure it is not just a little bit over filled, jack the car up making sure it is completely level, crack open the fill plug and let it drain. Put the plug back in when it slows to about a drop every 2 seconds. Then clean the area thoroughly and take a drive for about 30 minutes while you enjoy your car. Then look with a flashlight at the seal area near the axle, it should be nice and dry. If not then the seal needs to be replaced.
