I pulled my driveshaft today in preparation for dropping the T5 out to install a King Cobra clutch setup and flywheel. When the driveshaft was pulled away from the rear axle, I had quite a bit of clean gear lube run out of the void where the driveshaft bolts into the rear. Is this normal to have fluid in there like that?
