Default N00b Scooby Owner - Diff Picture

Hi Guys,

New to scoobs & the forums. Thought this was the best place to ask for a bit of help. My diff at the rear has blatantly got a leak, I phoned up dealer to try and get a gasket and they couldn't tell me as to whether it used one or just used sealant. The car is a GC8K UK Spec 2000 Turbo X Reg. I have included a picture below and would be very grateful if someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks all.

Matt

personally id get under there with some degreaser and clean the whole area, and try tightening each bolt to the diff....might help to see where the leak is, or even stop it..also check the diff level now!!!

Hey Lee,

Thanks for your advice, much appreciated someone taking the time to have a look. Have degreased the whole lot (last night) and so far after about 50 miles no sign of any leak at all which is a bonus, the level was A OK when I checked. I will keep checking and see if it starts doing it again.

Thanks for your help.
