How to check the differential fluid?
I was under the car today and I pulled the plug out of the diff. It is leaking at the bottom and I was wondering...What do you look for on the plug ? I didn't see a level mark on it.
And where is the correct place to add the fluid. I saw a fitting for a socket wrench and I was assuming that is the correct place. Just wanted to make sure.

yep there should be a plug on the side of the differential u fill to the bottom of the plug so oil is not running out but even. u also need to have the car level or close to it. look to see if the oil left a trail to the seal at the front yoke or inspection plate gasket may be leaking

When I looked at it, I saw that it is leaking in the back behind the blue gasket. So I checked the bolts on the diff....I tightened the one by the leak and it was tight, but I gave it a turn....Idk if it needs a new gasket or if I need to just not be afraid to over tighten them and tighten them up !

Ok quick question here..... I was just under the car.....there is a dipstick type plug on top of the diff. I pulled it out.......Is this where you check the fluid level ? I can't get my finger to fit...Or....what about this plug on the side of the diff....It has a fitting for a socket wrench on it....
I'm just not certain.....
Any suggestions ?
thanks
