Honestly never had my car at the track. If it wasn't my DD I would, but I can't risk breaking something right now without having at least some money set aside to replace something. Hell I just replaced my diff fluid and thought I had fixed the leak but it's still drippin a wee bit. Probably 3 or 4 drops in about 7 hours or so in 80* weather. I need to check the torque on the bolts and make sure they're to spec.

Honestly not sure at the moment, haven't had a chance to get back under it. I just noticed a few drips today. The other day I replaced the diff fluid and used red RTV and apparently didn't go far enough down at the very bottom and missed that little lip so it was leaking BAD. Then I redid it with the paper gasket thing and it is only leaking maybe 3 or drips every 5 to 6 hours or more. Not sure if it's the drain plug or the cover itself at the moment. When I climb under it I'll let you know.

sometimes at very bottom of cover at rear end housing u have to file it because jacks will put burrs there causing cover not to seal all the way up!

I might have to bring it over to you and have you check it out. Looks like it's leaking from the cover again. It's still nowhere near as bad as before, but it's still enough to annoy me.
