[Roadsters] Rear end seal leak/How to pull the seal?

[Nolan]

Thank you Paul,

Thank you for the comments. That is interesting that you have found Redline
oil to stand out in the ability to find small places to drip from.

 

Yes, the car has been sitting a while (20+ years). I didn't want to try
something like a leak seal because of the clutch pack in the limited slip.
Nolie is trying to win a bet and drive the car in a little more than a week.
We may just go ahead and make a few laps around the neighborhood before
pulling the seal,

 

Best regards,

Nolan

  Whatever you do, don't run Red Line oil unless you fix that 'small' drip.
Red Line will make it a "BIG" drip.  Has the roadster been off the road for
awhile?  The seal may recover after a hundred miles or so.  And you might
want to try some leak seal first.  Tear down is a last resort.

Hello friends.

We are chasing oil leaks in the roadster. The drive line seal in the rear
end has a small drip. Does anyone have the seal part number handy? Any
tips/suggestions on the easiest way to pull out the seal?



Best regards,

Nolan
