Yay!!! 2013 Mustang GT rear-axle leaking

[EazyIce]

Can't wait to hear what this is. I drive like an old lady and it has 3k miles on it. Boo!!!

Do a search, it is common. The leak is from the breather on the top of the tube. I found fluid on mine, wiped it off, and it seems fine now.

There is actually a TSB out to replace the rearend vent... they are currently doing it to my car

 

[Djstorm100]

whats the tsb consist of? Just add vacuum line up the underside of the car = done

 

[slagburn]

Yep, TSB part looks like a mini turkey baster, that and lowering the fluid level a little bit per the TSB takes care of it.

[EazyIce]

vacuum line and filter is alot cheaper.

Lol I was freaking out today when I went under my car to put on some new struts and saw that the axle was soaked. Funny this thread should be basicly preposted for me.

Doesnt sound anything new its always been the vent no big deal. Better full than low.

 

[Blazer707@TBR]

I believe the tsb is not the turkey baster anymore that they where useing. I believe they use thread sealer on the threads and have you check the fluid level and adjust level.

yeah. I just wish I knew what size nipple screws into the axle.

Why not take the vent out the axle tube and screw it into the top of the new cover you have and just cap of the tube? I bet they are the same thread.

i hope not. the vent thread on the axle cover is 7/16 20. Home Depot doesn't have that shit.

Well the car is done and the seal replaced. If I upgraded the differential cover to the Ford Racing one, would I have this same problem? I haven't seen where the seal is exactly.

the vent still leaks with the frpp diff cover. I was appalled at the condition of the stock fluid. looked and felt like river mud.
