I only use OEM gaskets, sensors and seals as well as the bolts that one time use. I am leaning on changing the pan now thinking about it the other side of the pan does not leak and that the side that has long shaft and it’s now one of two either the pan somehow got damage or the bolts holding the front diff to the pan got loose. Being old pan and the type of metal that may be the case. |

Are the new shafts GKN. If not the seals may not seal against an out of spec smaller shaft.

Anyone know if the assembly ring moving part or stationary? That seal may be the cause of the leak and not the pan...
When the car cold no leak when it’s hot it leak then the heat force the oil to pass but can’t say if it’s front back or under. |

The more I think about it the more I believe it’s the front diff ring not seated correctly...what you think |

O.P.,
You still did not answer a key question. Did you ever replace the OFH Gasket?

The second time I took all the old ones to the dealer to see if I missed something and they were very helpful inspecting them and comparing them to new ones. I am going now to them again taking them back for a look. |

That seal is an o-ring. I thought we were talking about the seal for the driveshaft into the diff. If it is leaking when it is HOT i would check the vent tube for the front diff to make sure it is not plugged up. There's a reason for that vent tube.

The service tech at the dealer recommended to use new bolts and torque 60 and not 55 if I am not going to replace the pan. His thought that the heat and the movement may made the sleeves not seal to the oil pan good. In the event that did not help he stated that I need to look into replacing the pan. He said the sleeves looks good and no scratches on it but he said to replace the o ring and the sleeves anyway. |
