Gentlemen,
Does anyone have any idea why all of a sudden, out of the blue my final drive is losing its gear oil out the vent? This is on my 68 Toronado and not the 78 Royale.
I started noticing a small puddle of fluid under the car and realized it was gear oil. I confirmed it was from the final drive. It is not over filled, I removed the plug and actually had to add more fluid. I topped it up and took the car back out for a run, came back home, looked underneath and the gear oil was coming out the vent.
I have been restoring this car for what seems like forever, I have gone through all the mechanicals including the final drive. There is perhaps 150 miles on the drive (and everything else) since it was overhauled, although it was probably done 7 years ago.
Thanks in advance, Jim
Jim Owens,
