There has been heaps of oil coming out of the breather tube. I'm fairly certain is has had another diff cover on it because there is no drain plug on the diff or the cover and I think the old cover had the drain plug on it. So do I replace the seal then instead of filing the diff to the filler hole of the diff cover I find out the recommended amount of oil needed and just put that in?
