Re: k5 2wd rear diff

They're the same, but if you pull yours I'd try to seal it. Short of getting it welded up, wonder if POR would stop the weeping?

Re: k5 2wd rear diff

Does it drip or just seep oil around the plug welds? I think most of them have oil/dirt around them. Unless it actually drips I don't think I'd worry too much. You might replace the vent assembly, carb clean the plug weld and then lay the paint to that area thick.....
