Hello everyone.
I have a 97/98 A6 2.8 quattro and while I was under the car noticed a little oil had been thrown out of the drive shaft seals at the rear diff.
Not sure if it's because it maybe had been a little over filled (the seals look fine) or if there's a problem? To see if there's a problem I thought I'd take out the filler plug and check the oil level.
Thing is, what I'm assuming is the filler plug is in there mighty tight! Not wanting to keep persuading it and run the possibility of breaking something I thought I'd ask on here first.
The diff is quiet and I've had no bother with it so it may well be nothing but I'd like to check to make sure. I can't afford dealer prices so is anyone able to give me any advice?
Very much appreciated
Cheers
