I have started having gear oil under the left rear corner of the jeep with it running down into the gas tank skid plate. I changed diff covers about three months ago but this just started this week. I had the vent tube come loose once when it was under warranty. Where is the end supposed to be so I can confirm that that hasn't happened again before going into the shop.

PS there is no leak in the area of the diff.

Do you have a locker or open? If you are open you may need a additive to the gear oil.

It's an air-locker. it's an intermitent problem now. I know the diff isn't over filled.
