Re: Axle vent leaking oil

If this is normal then OK but it just seems weird it would start now.
Thanks for the response Thor.
As I've stated, I suspect heat causing expansion of fluid.

The first few runs I hadn't noticed this either. It DID capture my attention after a hard run for a long duration coming out of Wurzburg with an Audi TT chasing me. I checked the vehicle afterwards and THAT is when I discovered the vent leakage - I don't know what else to tell you.
