So I went to the track Friday night, and after my last pass when I went to jack the car up, there was gear oil all over the diff, mufflers and was dripping on the ground.
Drove the car home, no loud or odd noises from the diff at all. After talking with STG Motorsports we think it is one of two things...
1. The diff burped and puked fluid out the breather on top of the diff and sprayed it everywhere.
2. The case is cracked.
I'm going to attempt to do a removal, inspection and re-installation in my garage in Carol Stream this week.
I understand that my day job is not a mechanic, but I'd say I'm decently mechanically inclined. This will be one of the biggest jobs I have attempted in the garage and I was looking to see if anyone was willing to lend a helping hand.
If you come over I'll make sure I have cold beer and food. I'm thinking about starting to tackle this tomorrow night (Tuesday).
