Why in the world is this happening? my rear diff is leaking. So i get it fixed. ok. Here is the kicker. My screws that hold the casing together keep coming loose, even to the point were if you grabbed a crew with your hand you could pull it out. Well last time the fixed it they put lock tight on it. did not work. WHat is wrong ? and what can be done to fix it?

this is a choppy post, but I wanted to keep it brief. thanks for your help guys

You are talking about the normal dif cover bolts right? Mine would leak all the time. With the irs I would amagine that it is from the wheel hop, it just shakes the hell out of everything

I believe the cover may flex in certain situations, causing the silicone sealer to break loose and allow seepage around the cover. My cover leaked until I put a differential cover brace on it and resealed it with gray Permatex silicone sealer.
