Morning Guys & Girls
Got a question about the rear axle in Kermit?
I fitted a MK1 Cortina axle to give me slightly thinner track so I could fit wider wheels/tyres at some point.
After fitting everything and getting it on the road I took it for a track day.
I noticed I was getting some oil on the inside of my rear wheel, passenger side.
When I investigated it was rear diff oil that had weeped out through the bearing/housing/retaining plate???
And that's the question, what/why do you think that's happening?
In theory, looking at it (I've popped the drive shaft out) I believe the bearing itself when pushed in should stop any oil escaping?
so could it be the condition of the housing?
If so, could I just use some sealant round it to stop the leak?
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.
Many thanks
