alright guys so i got my oil change a couple days ago and the guy called me over into the work area i was already expecting something ****ty happened since it always does..anyways he brings me underneath the car and shows me some fluid above my mufflers it seems to be some type of oil but we couldnt pinpoint what it was i was in a rush and said i would bring it in later didnt seem like much of a threat but will you guys please help me figure out what this is!? maybe a gas line leak check out the pics for yourself



notice the stains on the mufflers

 

Bad seal into diff leaking onto drive shaft yoke.

 

how much does a differential maintenance run me? would it be a gasket?

 

Oh wow I was going to do change the fluid in my diff, because it was leaking. but i have the same leak on my mufflers but no oil on the body, but mine has a leak from the muffler to the piping. anything serious?

 

Would changing my differential seal and fluid get rid of the problem Posind U

 

If that's case, of course. I'm just taking a guess based on the pattern of the spray. Have a rear end shop put the car in the air. They'll be able to tell you. If you don't already have them it would be a good time to have gears installed.

 

Im assuming I wouldnt be able to install a set a gears is that correct?

 

Like I said, now would be a good time....

 

Bad pinion seal
