I have an 2007 silverado 3500 fwd. noticed an oil leak a few weeks ago, could tell from the smell it was differential fluid. Pulled the skid plate and most of the bolts connecting the axle housing to the differential were loose. I tighten them all but within a week it had started leaking oil again, some were loose, gave them a little more muscle this time but didn't want break anything. A couple of weeks later a "little" loose agian and a little oil leakage.
I can't find a torque spec, have not asked chev service dept yet. Any ideas? Just a matter of torque or more like a gasket replacement? Any thoughts?
I have attached a photo off the net, the bolts I'm referring to appear to be pink in the pic.
Thanks,
Alan
