Leaking diff plug welds.

[Donovan]

I noticed last night that my diff is leaking where the axle tubes are welded in. What are my options?

thats actually semi common.

best form of action is to drill them out and re-weld. going to need ALOT of heat to burn it out of the seems between tube and housing though. without doing that, weld will contaminate immediately and look like the gas isnt on. the heat draws it out and burns it off.

I would be okay not addressing this problem until it leaks more per say drips onto the ground?

i wouldnt worry about it. if you sled pull, its highly suggested you weld the tubes to the housing but thats about it

I would ignore it but unless it gets worse

Check your warranty too. Sig says 2015 and depending on when purchased and if under 100k it
