Looks like you might have a leaky rear diff based on the amount of sludge under your diff. Might want to steam clean the underside and inspect for leaks after about 100 miles or so.
@YellowVette043 жыл бұрын
@@adamsharrow7951 I noticed that afterwards as well. I cleaned it up best I could and will definitely do so. Fluid did come out of the fill plug, so it must not be much if it's leaking. The tag on the fill plug wasn't there so it possibly was done before and possibly overfilled.
