Title: Oil Drip ?
Post by: tedthefed on May 06, 2009, 07:01:21 PM
After going out today noticed a big patch on the drive (misses not to happy) of what felt like baby oil on the rear nearside, just running out of hole near the front of the rear spring. Just thinking is it the breather pipe from the rear diff spitting out as its only a few inches away.. Its the silver XJ.
