Seal leakage update
Well, after reading through the search here on differential leak, I concluded that there seemed to be about a 50/50 split between a seal issue, and the diff vent issue. I let my mechanic know about it and suggested checking with a mirror to see the vent area, and low and behold, it is from the vent not the seal.
He talked to STAR, and found that they did not have a fix, but they did say that it seems there have been a lot of seal replacements which was curious to them. They suggested an anti foaming agent as they had no additional suggestion. My mechanic told them that wasn't the issue, thanks but no thanks, and that he would come up with a fix and let them know how.
Told me that he had some type of diff vent part on order, and that he was going to extend the vent approximately one foot up via a flexible vent extension. I knew what he was talking about as we have done that for years on 4x4's to get the vents up high to prevent water intrusion.
In this case the effect would be to provide an extended vent line to allow whatever is going on to relieve itself without puking out any residue on top of the diff. WIll let you know how it works out.
