By the time I wanted to take the car out again the following weekend I noticed even more oil had leaked and the diff also had some seepage. So, I will need what little I have of the kit's diff and shock oil because I don't how much I'll get for the money should I need to buy some more luxurious bottles.

Leaking shocks and diffs? That's not too good.

I haven't seen any posts about leaking shocks, but someone did post a link to some advice on how to bleed them a certain way: http://forum.teamxray.com/viewtopic.php?p=23104#23104

The leaking diff is not so surprising, as they choose to use the o-ring instead of a gasket. IMO, gasket is better.

Anybody else have problems with leaking shocks or diffs??

Thanks for offering.
