ok, the rear diff is leaking slightly and i'm looking at a remedy soon.

i got the degreaser out and gave it a clean and saw the bolts at the back.

do these pop off and reveal a gasket which has degraded? if so, do nissan do a replacement.

also, if this is the case, where do i fill it back up with fluid (redline/silkolene)

cheers guys :D

My rear diff had a paper gasket, I made one out of card and it hasn't leaked since. The filler plug is on the right hand side (looking from the rear) at the top. You will probably need a pipe or something to fill it, I borrowed on of those oil syringes to pump it in.

I hope this helps, I can't remember if you can get the back off with the diff still in the car though.

cheers for location of the filler plug, saves me looking for it.

my mates dad has got a pump especially for filling it.

so, all in all the job shouldnt take too long.
