I am changing the differential oil for the first time. It's a Dana 40, 9". I have owned Bronco for 5 years. Recently, I noticed that it was leaking a few drops of oil. I decided to check oil level. Unscrewed the filler bolt and oil came running out in a constant stream. I put the filler bolt back in when the it turned into a dribble.
I thought the fluid should never go above the filler hole. When it starts to come out when you are filling you stop. Is that correct? I looked at the rear axle seals and there is no oil leaking there. Looks like it the gasket that is leaking. I will replace that soon.
Thanks for you help.
