My trans is leaking where it mates with the Differential....Brought it to the dealer Monday. They take it apart, replace the seal & bolt it back up.....It still leaks...Now it's too late to get another one in..Call today, they didn't get the seal in today,say they'll have it tomorrow hopefully ready to go....Sheesh!

You gotta stop hitting the gears so hard Dr. Ron!!!!! You think maybe the drag radials had something to do with it? I hope not. 11.60 ET's Wow!

Is this the standard rear-end leak that comes with almost all Z06's?

Welcome to the leaky rear end club!

Do a search, there are many threads on this. Mine leaks, but not enough to drip. Someone said 'spirited' driving can cause some to spit out of the overflow? Never researched it and I don't want them tearing into it for a leak that isn't a problem....

Just my uninformed $.02....

hey guys, this leak was noticed before my last trip to the track. I already dealt with the infamous leaky rear diff. issue too. Hope it's just another blip on the radar screen...
