BACK AXLE OIL LEVEL
Posted: Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:33 pm
I recently bought a 1959 948 for my son as his first car. Having carried out extensive welding rebuiling etc he is really pleased with it and it is coping well with the abuse.
I think the rear axle has been changed at some time as I have a problem in that there is no level bung for the oil in the diff. Someone has enlarged the breather on top of the axle casing to allow you to get oil in with great difficulty and I drained it first so I knew how much to put in. Can anyone suggest what is wrong. Should the axle have a level bung or is the diff out of something other than a Minor?
