Jerry, both are leaking in exactly the same place, right from that seal that is in the front of the snout, right behind that deflector disc behind the yoke. (Not sure what that deflector plate is called, but it is the somewhat cup shaped tin plate behind the yoke). Gear oil runs right down that seal. Dans rear has never moved an inch yet and mine started dripping after 300 miles.

What really upset me was his email, which he even capitalized:


DON THIS HAS BEEN A BIG WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY . I GOT THE BOX TODAY THEN CHECKED IT ALL OUT . THE LEAKING WAS UP THE THREAD OF THE PINION BETWEEN THE NUT AND THE SPLINE . IT CAN ONLY DO THAT IF OVERFILLED .I HAVE HADE THE PROBLEM BEFOR AND CHANGED TO NUTS WITH SEALER ON THE THREAD . I REPEAT IT CAN ONLY HAPPEN IF OVERFILLED BEFOR THE SEAL IS SEATED DURING USE WHICH THIS UNIT NEVER GOT USED . T.J.


I sure hope the replacement he sent for Dan's car doesn't leak too.

Don
