<VV> Gear Oil Blowing out Vent

Mon Jun 18 09:03:14 EDT 2007

I have always noticed a little bit of gear oil blow out on every Corvair except 68s and 69s. They have a baffle inside the cover that seems to stop it.
        Your leaking seems a little worse than normal though.If the diff has been rebuilt I'd make sure that there isn't excessive friction inside causing heat and pressure. A to tight ring and pinion can cause to much heat and friction that might cause the blow out.
