Any idea why on the rear diff, it would leak around one of the screws, when i've tightened them in the right order, and nice and 'snug', not loose.
And just to be a pain, where's it easiest to pick up the Loctite sealant?? YOu have a part number or something so i get the right one??
Thanks in advance, and see you at the track one day...soon i hope!
yep that's right the L section where the o ring sits. it is Loctite number 518 flange sealant, i bought it from the shop next door to cmc. but i think most auto shops will have it. you can clean it right off when you do a total rebuild, just pick at it with your nails, or a blade.
it probably leaks out of one screw hole as you tightened it down too much on one side first and the plastic is a bit warped.
