Oil leak near diff, can't find where
Hi, I have oil everywhere near my diff, is there a common place I should check? Checked really fast in a garage because I was in a hurry...
Thanks! |

The differential has two side seals which can leak. I think they usually start to sweat a little and warn you they're going.
-----> https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...-seals-517073/ The stock differential bushings are oil filled. If the bushing fails it can leak down beside the differential/axle area. |
Rear axle seals that leak blow onto the diff and everywhere.
Seals are super cheap from Ray and not hard to install. Search and you'll find pix etc. |
Here's ours -- shop wanted to reabuild the diff.
Forum threads suggested the axle seals, and that was the culprit. Dry as a bone since changing those out. Like $7 each from Ray Crowe. http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...a/reardiff.jpg |
Yep and make sure you wash all the gear oil. Lol
|
Yep, side seals.
|
Thanks a lot guys, just ordered both side seals!
ppritchard, mine looks like your picture very much! |
Mine was leaking from the front input shaft seal. It was not splattered all over the rear though it was fairly confined to the front of the diff.
