Diff fluid everywhere
 
My diff is spraying fluid all over the underside of my car. I just did a diff swap a few weeks ago, did I not seat the axels or is it just a bad seal?

Thats a leak all right. You should probably fix that






and check the seals

When I had a bad seal, it sprayed. Yours is dripping a lot. Did you use OEM seals, and how full did you fill it?

BRG_Dylan 06-18-2019 02:14 PM

Tbh the seals looked good and I was dumb and didn't replace them but they looked perfect, and I put fluid all the way up to when it started coming out

The reddish brown piece between the green piece and the diff housing is the seal.

I bet you pulled the circular spring out of the seals.

Seriously, poke the red part with your finger and I bet it moves.

FTFY

So do u think the axels just aren't seated correctly?

wackbards 06-18-2019 03:27 PM

No. Replace your seals.

BRG_Dylan 06-18-2019 03:50 PM

Ok will do!

sixshooter 06-18-2019 04:12 PM

Seriously, please poke the pink part and see if it moves. I really think that is the seal.

Take a video doing it.
