Mornin', Happy to report that my Subie conversion is running like a dream. Unhappy to report that I have a leak around the driver's side axle flange. I replaced the seals when I did the conversion. I noticed a very small drip-drip of Redline Synthetic when everything was finished; I thought maybe I'd installed the seal incorrectly. Day before yesterday, took off the CV joint and replaced the axle flange seal again as well as a new little plastic cup, sealed the cup with Ultra Black and re-filled with Redline (I'd lost about 1/2 quart in the past month.) I drove it around yesterday and after sitting, I noticed a little bit of fluid beneath it again. I know the seal is in there as it should be, as well as the cup. It's leaking from somewhere around that area, but I can't be sure exactly where. Could it be a similar situation to using synthetic motor oil in an old motor, causing leaks? Any ideas or help would be appreciated. I don't like the idea of a semi-monthly Redline refill. With that in mind, a new transmission would probably be more economical. That Redline is expensive... Thanks, Joe T. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
