    Default Rebuilt VS II SS IRS LSD leaking?

    I have just had my VS series II SS LSD diff rebuilt last week. New cones for the LSD and new bearings & seals.......

    $840 bucks later.................

    Now I noticed the thing leaks bad. The pinon seal is dry, so is the output shafts nice and dry. The rear cover seal/gasket is dry too, but at the very rear end of the unit where is mounts into the body mount is oily and dripping.
    Is it missing a seal or grommet? The tow bar is dripping and so is the front of the fuel tank. Any suggestions?

    I'd better get the thing looked at!

    Thanks.

    i would be taking it back to the place that rebuilt it and getting it repaired under warranty. sounds like its pissed out most of the oil from the breather pipe, mine did the same thing with a secondhand diff.
