I have a problem with my 2004 rubicon I’m unable to figure out. I recently changed my front diff cover to an ARB one. The mechanic said he put in 2qts.
I mostly drive around town. The last 4 trips on the highway when it really heats up I start smelling gear oil. When I pop the hood up by the drivers side front it has fluid all over the underside of the hood and all down the front left of the jeep engine compartment. I first thought it was a high pressure power steering hose leak and I changed it out.
It’s still doing it and I believe is the breather hose from the diff. I checked the dipstick on the diff cover and it has no markings but it doesn’t appear to be much of anything on the dipstick. Why would switching the cover be blowing all my fluid out of the hose?
