robert green Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I park in a private carpark and have noticed some oil on the floor below my diff. It is possible that another car has parked there and leaked oil, but I would like to check my diff oil level to be sure. It is an APsuretrac diff if that makes any difference?

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 If it was yours, there would be oil on the underside of the diff casing ? 7 related photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative paul richards Posted June 16, 2008 Area Representative Share Posted June 16, 2008 Live axle or De Dion? It doesn't matter really as both have a level/filler plug on the back. Make sure car is level and remove plug. If oil comes out it's full, if not fill until oil comes out. Replace plug. Paul Richards Area Representative - L.A.D.S.

LesG Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 If it's dedion, cross your fingers the filler plug hasn't (bi-metallic) welded itself into the casing like mine had! I've just had to remove my diff this weekend (again!) to work the filler plug out. Ended up having to remove the cover plate and then oxy-acetylene to sort it. Still, it's a lot easier to remove the diff with bolt-on output flanges! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
