mac axle cover leaking

krafty · Jun 16, 2005

I have the mac axle cover on my car. It seems to leak out the drain plug a bit and yes it is tight. Has anybody else had this problem and what was the solution.

Maybe try a little RTV on the threads. I will assume the plug is steel and the girdle is aluminum, perhaps heat is making the aluminum expand more than the steel thus creating a gap to leak.

try a little bit of teflon tape on the threads.

Yea stay away from thier girdles. Ive seen 2 in the past on ebay that were cracked.

Agreed. Teflon tape is definitely a good choice here.

Thanks for the tips, I'll try the teflon. I don't know I just haven't been having luck w/ any MAC products
