Leaky 8.25
Hi guys, last year I changed by rear diff fluid in my 8.25, and added a Solid diff cover and a lube locker. I filled it up until it dribbled out of the fill hole, and for the last year it has been leaking out the overflow tube. I was thinking, should I pull the cover and do a complete drain and refill, or just simply hook up a pump to the fill hole, suck the old fluid out, and refill with the correct amount of fluid? Any opinions?

if it has too much just pull the rubber fill plug and let the fluid level out with the fill hole till it stops and put the plug back in unless you think it needs new fluid.

edit: i dont know how you got too much in there unless you filled it up while the jeep was slanted forwards..
