    Hey everyone, finally took my truck wheelin last weekend for the first time since I had ECGS do my gear and locker install (a month ago).

    Well less than a week later, last night I noticed a decent amount of diff fluid on the floor and on the skid plates. Here's what I found. Looks to be a leak along the seal... I'd like to double check the torque value for the bottom 3 bolts and the two top star bolt heads first before bringing the truck to Toyota.

    Would anyone what the torque is? Or where I may find out?
    I'm also concerned if ive done any damage to
    the diff? I'm figurin I've lost about a 1/4 to 1/2 of a quart. I'm gonna double check by filling it again. I should add, at first glance the fluid seems to be leaking from the star type bolt and running down the diff as well...

    Thanks for the help and advice!
