All this talk of the rationale behind breathers has really been
fascinating, but my main question seems to have become lost amongst it,
so I'll just ask again (but be a lot briefer this time 'round):
Anyone ever experience a leak at the front of the diff that is NOT a
leaky pinion seal? My Salisbury's leaking from where the nut holds the
flange to the pinion--like the oil's making its way out the splines. I
don't remember it having a felt washer in there. Anyone have any
suggestions for staunching this flow? Would it work at all to pull the
flange and put some sort of sealant on the splines? My hunch is that it
wouldn't since whatever I put in there would doubtlessly be destroyed
quickly by the forces on the splines. Other thoughts?
