When I was rotating the tyres today I noticed that there was some fluid buildup on the RHS of the rear diff. This is a bit unexpected after two weeks of ownership. I am guessing the car was well steam cleaned underneath for import compliance, it is not quite so pristine now! Seems to have some weeping from the sump or somewhere up front too Still that is used cars i guess.
Anyway, regarding this leak, i have sent a pic to the dealer and it should be addressed under the 30 day warranty, if push comes to shove, and I end up having to sort this myself, has anyone here replaced the seals on theirs? In the manual looks like there is a flange cover that has to be pulled out of the diff to exposed the seal, they quote a special tool but just looks like a flat bar that you bolt on to the cover and tap on the ends of the bar away from the diff to pop it out and expose the seal...
And if one goes I am guessing the other side is soon to follow....
