I have the Grantelli aluminum diff cover. I noticed after a little while of putting it on that there was dust/grime all over it. I was assuming it was a leak but couldn't figure out where.
I checked the fluid today and it's not really low but I did some further investigating and noticed it was leaking from the "deflection" bolt on the right side. I could see just a small drop seeping from the bolt.
What would be the fix without taking the cover completely off? I'm thinking I could back the allen screw all the way out then put some teflon tape back on and run her back in to the torque spec.
