ChrisH, Good point. I pulled those bolts and watched the oil drain so I know what you mean. I will have to clean out the bottom of the housing before anything will seal those threads. The good thing is this baby is tight and looking good. I love when the PO takes care of the equipment. Some guys just never change the rear end oil!
