RE: Rear Differential Oil Leak at Casing on suregrip

[Tom Duross <tduross1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd be leery of additives, kinda like using thick oil to stop leaks.
I'd treat the cause.  Try some permatex on both sides of a new gasket and
see how that works.
Torque it evenly.

HI All,

Ive had this wonderful assembly off several times (tapered axles and
all, what fun) have cleaned , even deburred the surfaces of the
suregrip casing and the housing itself, it still weeps but ever so
slowly.  its the only drip i have on this car and i want to stop it.
only thing i can assume is a casing imperfection.

Ive been looking online.  Ive got the clutch style suregrip.  I see
that they sell an oil additive which may stop this tiny leak.
DIfferent things I have read seem to suggest it works like the old
radiator stuff, Bars Leak.

Has anybody used this sort of stuff?  I would but I am concerned that
it may gum up my clutches.  Any comments?
