I have a 12 bolt rear in my 69 Camaro. I had some work done on the it and the mechanic said that he accidently overfilled with fluid and it may leak a bit for a while. Well, it's been 6 plus months and it's still leaking. It seems to be coming from the top of the diff toward the passenger side. There is something about a half inch round sticking up about an inch inch in that area. Is this a breather or something and could it be coming from that?
Also, I'm not sure how you would overfill the rear end , as I thought you were supposed to fill until it starts coming out the filler hole. However, I do have an aluminum Moser diff cover. Could the filler plug be located higher than stock and allow for more fluid, which may cause it to leak out the breather?
Any help would be appreciated.
