Need to replace the differential seals!
After a very fun day at the track I managed to get the differential/transmission a little hot. The result is oil leaking from the driver side seal on the differential.
I would rather do it myself than taking it to a shop. I will more than likely add both differential and transmission coolers at the same time.
Have any of you done this yourself?
Any special tools needed?
Thanks, Darryl

Have had the differential seals in my car leak three times - but each time was repaired under warranty. Not sure what special tools, if any, they used.
