[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 15009365, member: 166576"] Hi all. Ok so I decided to upgrade my rear diff fluid from dealer fill gear oil to Redline Heavy Shockproof oil. Removed cover, cleared as much old fluid out as possible, cleaned cover and diff. Reseal cover with Ford sealer and let dry. Added 4 oz of Ford friction modifier, and proceeded to fill the diff with about 2.4 qts of Shockproof. Filled till it comes out fill hole, let it come to a trickle and reinstalled the plug. (BTW, the way this stuff coats gears/metal is insane!) Drove around a bit and the next day notice a gear oil smell. Sure enough leaking from vent. Cleaned off and drive again for a few days. Recheck, still leaking from vent Grrrr..... Clean off fluid, pull onto alignment rack and remove fill plug to inspect level at ride height. Notice an air noise, like pressure let out from a tire.... Plug all the way out and not trickle coming out.... Reinstall plug and rechecked tonight: fluid leaking AGAIN from diff cover vent. Do I have an issue with my diff vent? If left uncorrected could I have a pinion bearing seal blow out? WILL IT EVER STOP LEAKING?!?!?! Any tips or suggestions appreciated! :) [/QUOTE]
