I don't want to do that because I'll run the risk of diff oil spewing out.

 

If diff oil spills out when you are on flat ground, you found the problem.

 

I changed my diff oil a couple of weeks ago. I don't remember seeing a copper washer. It was aluminum. I wouldn't worry about it though unless it was leaking.

 

really, damn. I have some ****ty luck then. would you happen to have a picture from the side view like the one I posted. I'm just worried and I've heard horror stories in the past about people not having a washer on the diff bolt.

 

their is spose to be a soft metal crush gaskit just like your oil drain plug has. if you remove the fill plug a small amount of fluid will drip. thats normal. but you can imstall a gaskit if your worried and the drip of fluid that come out wont be a problem. if that helps


p.s. the colder the car the less pressure in the case so less will want to come out

 

Is the gasket in this picture?

 

yea. thats it. is that on your car???

 

yeah

 

yeah that's my car.

 

u should be ok than. if something like that ever does happen where someone leaves it iff you can usually find replacements at autozone or advanced

 

thanks man, I was a bit worried that the washer wasn't on my back diff bolt.
