differential oil leak 760 turbo sedan 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Crazy Brick on  Wed Aug 20 13:41 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Curious, the filler hole should be facing the rear end of the car (closer to the bumper end) and near the middle of the differential cover. It is closed off using a 13mm bolt on my car and you just undo the bolt and check that the oil is level with the hole.

If you have a leak you should fix that soon as a new rear end is either labour intensive or money intensive to fix.... Sometimes both, if you can do the work yourself but can't find used parts. Common place of leakage is at the pinion seal. Check the FAQ for more info.
