Give the diff and surrounding areas a really good clean with degreaser. Hopefully then you will be able to see where the oil is coming from. A little bit of oil can go a long way

Front or rear diff ??Quote:

front diff
will have to check that damper (its not even 1 year old.)
have sorta washed it down but will degrease it when i get a chance.. gotta fix the wifes car first.
I looked under the front of mine last month and the front diff was wet as,
Ive brought a new damper but havent fitted it yet.
have you recently done an oil filter change??
the splash plate hose empties right onto the diff left front
not sure with your motor though
no the oil change was done a while ago and only started leaking a week ago max probably on the weekend it started. was playing around newnes
Gotta love the nissan Whoops, sorry, FORD Maverick.
ok so now looking at how to separate the luggage compartment from the cabin section.
needs to be solid to block air but not sight. so clear plastic screen
needs to be easily removed and stored.
thinking using the back seats and extend them up to keep the aircon near the people.
any ideas ?
well i found the leak. turns out its the diesel injector pump... looks to be a cover plate so not so bad but not happy jan.
on a happier note the valve clearances after 23 years or so are still .35mm
If you have a cargo barrier you could screw some clear flexible perspex to it.
Like they use on doorways in coolrooms or snack shops

Drop down shelf knocked up
made a temp division will see how it works or dosn't. some clear pvc sheet and a couple sticks i had layin around
my cargo area separator works. nearly froze on the way home from work. will make something a bit better when i get the chance. but it defiantly helps the old a/c in the old girl.
ok so went for a trip, visited my brother, went for a play and he tried to get me stuck...

after squinting into the sun the bonnet is coming off mon. will be removing the shine and see how that goes. it may end up matt black. or matt black foot plate on it.
has anyone got pic's / measurements of the box between the front seats (GQ) thinking about changing out the bench seat. also tempted to fit a small fridge in there..... gathering ideas atm.
thanks
ok so the rear shoes have failed. again.... now i have no auto adjuster as the drum ate it.... looking into a disc conversion cos i'm sick of drums. can't get good shoes anymore.
sooo if anyone is in sydney area and has a disc rear diff housing with brakes on it they want to sell let me know will be looking for a week or so. centre isn't important mine is still good.

mk2 box part way finished still got to cover and line and add a couple more things
Mad Build love it if i had of read this earlier i would of said come get the diff i have here........
how much for a rear bar like your but with jerry can holder ?? :D
well the one i made cost me about 600 ish in parts plus paint and took about 3 weeks to put together. could have cost a bit more for bolts and ali foot plate didn't keep the receipts. can measure it up if you want to make one i would change one or two things if i was to do it again.Quote:
