Coming home from MidOhio a few weeks ago, the differential in my 1969
1600 started whining. The car has a KA24E, 5 speed, and a 3.70 ring &
pinion from a 2000. I crawled underneath today and pulled the drain plug.
Got a few drops! I pulled the wheels and brake drums. The axles are not
leaking. It does look like the drain plug has been leaking a bit, but
there never was a puddle on the garage floor. So where did all the oil go?
I refilled the diff with Red Line Shock Proof, and used Teflon tape on
both drain and fill plugs. Thunderstorms coming through here today so a
road test will have to wait.
