[fast330i]

Hello, I’ve recently noticed I have a lot of leak on the rear differential, anyone ever encounter this?

I’ve did some search and came up to this:

Anyone else thinks this is the cause?

Clean the area with brake cleaner. Re-check area.

That being said, there appears to be much moisture. Check for loose bolts. Also, check the shaft seals.

dont be lazy, take the shields off.

Check the front and sides to see if it is leaking from any of the seals. Those are the most likely places for it to leak.
