Default Rear Diff Leak.......No More!....

Thought I had the driver's side diff leak-seen a little wetness around the diff and not coming from the vent tube.Checked the bolts on the diff and the one at the 3 oclock position I got a quarter turn out of her and my leak stopped.The rest of the bolts were tight except that one........Check that bolt before doing the gasket repair.

Is there a recall for bad coverplates?

Wish mine was that simple. Already had GM reseal the transmission and diff last year, under warranty. Have a new leak between the tranny and torque tube. Hopefully, my Z will be going under the "knife" tomorrow. Getting some goodies installed at the same time. With the rear out it is a great time to add a hardened output shaft and DTE Brace.
