Default Oil leak from differential
I noticed in my 86 4000csq that oil is leaking from my rear differential. Its on the right side and its coming out right at where the drive axle thingy goes into it. Somebody told me its fairly normal to happen espically when im dicking around with the suspension. Isnt the differential filled with 90W gear oil or something? Should I attempt to relube the gears again?

Default Always keep the oil at the right level.
The axle flange seal is leaking, it's not *that* big of a job to fix, as long as you have the right tool for the CV bolts.
