While I was rotating tires today, I noticed a wet area and drip at the front diff cover. I checked the botton 3 bolts and found them to be loose. I tightened them and hope that takes care of things. Gave a quick squirt of fluid in the fill hole to make up for the little that was lost.
My pos solid covers leak EVERYTIME they just graze a rock. Always have loose bolts too.

Call David at http://northridge4x4.com/ He'll fix you right up. I don't see how catching the lip of a quality diff cover is going to cause it to leak. It's gotta be yet another good reason not to use RTV down there.
Question: Has anyone reused a lubelocker? I know the best thing would be to use a new one each time, but just wondering if anyone, maybe on the trail, reused one with success.
