Could the differential pinion seal be temporarily patch or sealed with some extra strength epoxy or gas patch sealer? PLEASE HELP!!!

posted by  someone claiming to be 777 on  Wed Oct 12 08:53 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I now believe that my gear oil is leaking from the pinion seal? Can I put a temp sealer and or heavyduty epoxy just until I can make the repairs? Although it is a closed system, is there any pressure within the differential? I Permatex makes a tootsie roll like sealer/patch that I COULD POSSIBLY place within this area. Again what are my possiblities for a quick temp seal? I would like to repair it by the weekend. Right now the rear axle is at the whining stage, however I just keep it full until I can get this darn thing fixed! How hard is it to make this repair? I am very mechanically inclined. but a litttle worried as to whether or not if I did any long term damage to the differential as a result of the whining noises. Dana diffs are suspose to be very stout, how much time do I have have left before this thing seizes up? Please help!!!

Best Regards!
