Hey everybody - I noticed a small pool on my driveway coming from my rear differential of my 2005 Chevy Equinox. I am not sure if anybody has had a similar issue or has done a repair for this? I haven't been able to get under it yet but I am not sure if it has a gasket like a traditional diff or if it requires replacing the whole diff. is worth going the cheap way and sealing the leak externally and calling it a day.

If you havent even looked at it.... will be hard to get any meaningful advice

haha, yes. it was stinky.

I might have been a little impetuous with my posting. I will take a look tonight and see if I can get to the root of the problem. Maybe take some pictures.
