Your 2003 is the seventh model year for the C5 - and Chevrolet can't figure out how to manufacture a rear differential that doesn't leak. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Good luck.

According to a post from C5TECH, GM has FINALLY come up with a redesigned side cover and o-ring kit that permanently fixs this problem. It just took them 7 YEARS to get it! :mad

:iagree: You do wonder why GM didn't put their suppliers feet to the fire long ago! Lets hope the new parts work and that we can put this problem behind us, so to speak.... :smash: :D
