Diff Leak
I came home from a drive and found a small pool of oil under the
differential. I crawled under the car and didn't see an obvious
leak so added some dye from my
leak detection kit, went
for a short drive, crawled back under the car with a black light
and behold a leak from the pinion seal. I spent about 2 hours on
the phone trying to find a compatable seal. It looks like the diff
carrier for the Marina axle is the same as an early TR7. I ordered
a new seal from The
Roadster Factory.
According to the Weale book, I should be able to replace the seal
without removing the differential. Of course the brand new
differential bushings are soaked in oil and will need to be
replaced.
