My Shiney Hiney's leaking/dripping bodily fluids from an unknown location, but it's collecting, then dripping at the bottom. We followed the install instructions to a "T"; but it's leaking anyway. There were threads about using locktite or sealants, and doing other stuff, but I can't locate 'em. Anybody remember the "fix"? This is gonna cost me a trip to the shop in Hanover where it was installed; but it could be worse, since PA inspection can be included in the same circle tour x 2.:depress:

The gasket that they supply will leak. Also it needs to be filled by the filler hole in the back of the Diff. not the one on the 'Shiney Hiney' or it will leak. Mine leaked at first, but was fixed by sealing it with silicone. Hope this helps and they should fix it under their service warranty.

Man, I hope that you are talking about your car. :rofl:

Sorry to hear about the leak. Maybe Gordon's silicone fix will work. :D

I had the same problem because they person who installed it filled it from the front which caused leaking cause it was overfilled.When i went to Dennis he took it off cleaned it , sealed it and filled it properly by the back hole..
