Default "Bullet Proof" rear end now has a leak!!!
What the frack? I thought a built rear end meant a built rear end. Today I noticed a stain on the driveway so I did a full sweap of the underside to find a Class I leak right there on the rear end, looks like axle fluid and it looks like it some on the driveshaft..... Any ideas anyone????

Upgrade to a stronger cover! Maybe a T/A or Ford Racing etc......

It's rear oil! I had the same problem, took off the pumpkin and a lil' sanding did wonders

Could be, hard to tell from the pic! Amazing thing is pinion almostnever gets replaced which should be a must when building a rear!
