NOTE:

Faulty O-rings at inner oil line allow ATF to enter the differential, which becomes over-filled and oil escapes at differential vent.
A removed oil line generally must be replaced.
The oil line must only be inserted using 3381oil line installer. Otherwise there is a risk of leaks because of bending of the oil line.
