For the second year in a row, I have spots showing up at the rear diff vent. Everything is free and clear, no blockages anywhere. Only happens when cold. Stop in the spring.

Any ideas?

I have a Mag-Hytec Diff Cover running Amsoil Severe Gear. Running this for several years, but this "leak" staerted last year.

Thanks

New to me too :dunno

Maybe the Dif lube level is tad to high ? Remove the "Full", index plug.. and see if any lube comes out. If it does.. let drain 'til it stops.. put the plug back in.. try that :dunno
