Hello all,
I just spun up my ET48.3 for the first time and immediately saw a line of differential oil flung out from the end of the center diff. After inspecting, it's coming from around the output shaft on the end without the gasket, so it must be leaking out around the output shaft.
I know I put in the differential o-rings, and when I did I used Pro-Tek blue o-ring grease. I used that same grease around the output shaft, and did not use the included black grease from Tekno.
I'm guessing that was probably my issue - does diff oil mix with that blue o-ring grease and allow a leak? If that's the reason behind the leak then I need to rebuild all three diffs before I run the thing. As someone fresh back into this after a 15 year hiatus I'd be very grateful for the insight of more knowledgeable folks.
Thanks. All the best.
