leaking diff?
i think i have a leak in the front differential of my revo....pic explains....
...now what am i supposed to do? ive had this for a couple weeks now...i just thought about it today that it might be a leak....but for now, i dont see any problems when driving around. atleast i dont feel any noticeable performance drop or anything... is it safe to keep it like this? would it damage other parts if i dont fix it?
thanks

RE: leaking diff?
Mine were leaking like crazy. I ripped the truck apart and found that something had worked it's way into the inner diff cover and mangled the diff. on the rear it was just a seal you they sell a diff rebuild kit for like $5 it comes with the 3 seals a diff case and a shim. It should take you about 1/2 hour all said and done.

RE: leaking diff?
So are we saying the aluminum cases don't give anything extra. I am also assuming the aluminum cases are heavier and are no good for racing, correct?

RE: leaking diff?
Mine was completely empty on the front and it had probably been that way for 6-7 tanks and everything seemed fine so I would not worry about it unless you hear metal on metal grinding sounds.
