Installed a greddy diff cover on my S14, and now i get oil coming out through the vent tube... Anyone ever have this problem with their car? I was thinking of putting a PCV valve inline on the vent tube to stop the oil from passing through the tube. Anyone???

It's overfilled. Take out your fill bolt on the side of the diff.... if fluid is pouring out, you have too much in there. Let it drain out until it stops coming out. Then it is full enough.

You know those GOJO hand cleaner bottles? The big ones with the pump on it? Well, you remove the pump, slide it into a bottle of gear oil, put the pump head inside the tiny hole, and get to pumpin. You will likely have carpal tunnel syndrome when you are finished but atleast your diff will be full.

Its kinda a PIA but what else are ya gonna do? Mechanic shops like my buddies have this neat rolling drum of gear oil with a big pump on it. But then again you may not have a friend with a shop like that.

The diff is NOT overfilled... I filled it with it out of the car. Leveled it and filled it with oil until it was even with the bottom of the filler hole. Its freaking me out a bit because im scared to roast my tomei diff... That would be the super suck.

Thanks for the suggestion psi.

My mechanic installed the tomei diff on an s13 and he said it was also leaking out of the breather...he was using a stock diff cover. So i got a VLSD cover when i got my Tomei diff installed. I havent checked for any leaks yet but you are making me nervous.
