    LSD leaking?

    So, I went hooning tonight and had some fun laying down some skids and just having a good time all around.

    After getting back on the highway, I smelled some oil, so I drove like a granny on my way home, and I got under the car to see if there was anything. That's when I saw this small-ish leak coming from the diff. It's pretty late right now, but I managed to get one decent pic.

    Does anyone have any suspicion on what it could be? I've never experienced this before and wanna get it addressed before it turns into a real problem.

    Coming from the vent. You got the diff hot and the warm fluid made its way through the vent tube.

      Ahhh okay, so it was just a temporary thing while sliding around and revving it high, and not something that I need to disassemble the diff and rebuild it?

      Is there a way to check your diff oil level, or a way to know when to change it/add more? Thanks for your answer

        Yea you need to clear out your vent though its probably clogged thus the fluid. To check fluid just pop out the fill plug and dip your finger in it.
