Re: lower out drive leaking oil :(

Why not pull the complete drive and do the job right? After you fix your know leak, then pressure test the drive to make sure you have ALL the leaks fixed. Then put gear lube in it.

Even if you only pull the lower, you will have issues with getting the shifter an all lined up. Do the job right, one time, and be done with it.
