<VV> Diff Fluid Level

[Harry Yarnell]

Yes, it's low, but really not to worry. The gears are picking up the lube, 
and since it's thick, it doesn't return to the sump fast enough to measure. 
You're also probably checking it running cold, which exacerbates the 
reading. I'd add a pint or so of gear lube.
