I got the gearfx full rear end from detroit speed. bought the debur and break in service. came in and filled it with fluid and of course it leaks. nice. brand new parts leaking right off first fill up no fun. Called them and they sent me the seal, of course the wrong one(pinion instead of carrier itself)

They often leak around the studs. Does it have copper crush washers on the nuts?

Take the four bottom studs out of housing , put red locktite on them and reinstall. They will not seep anymore.

Thanks for the insight Jay. I'll try that before even filling mine with fluid.
