Rearend Leak, where is it coming from, Help?
I have a BDR with the BMW rearend. I have 1600 miles on the car and since day one the rearend has been leaking. It is not comming from the Diff, I know this because the color is not purple, it is the color of motor oil and all seals and plugs in the diff are dry. The area that is wet are the CV joints exactly where the spline head bolts are. The boots are not wet. It appears that during rotation the oil is flung onto variuos parts under the car, then drips off the frame onto the floor. It is the consistancy of oil, not grease.
Questions
1. Has any body else had this problem?
2. Is there grease in the CV joint that is breaking down with temperature and dripping out? Maybe the wrong grease was used.
3. Where could the oil be comming from?
