IMHO.. if you are changing from dino to synth... you should add white shephard. The age of our lovely trucks will usually leak after the switch from dino to synth, hell they leak regardless...and the WS product will help with the older seals that the Synt. fluid can leak thru easily.. IMHO...now if it was leaking before than you need to fix THAT leak.

It is leaking from the bottom right hand corner, but I had Zero leak previous to the RP, so I'm guessing the seal finally gave way and it just so happened that it was a few weeks after changing out the gear oil.

That is a sweet deal.

And what I meant about the drained fluid collecting junk, when in a 2ft wide container there is alot of surface area to collect junk, while in the bottle the opening is small and almost no surface area to collect junk.

Guy on eBay was selling it off due to closing his station, but said if I bought more than one he would kick the price down, so I bought 7 bottle at nine a piece. Regarding reusing I'm a little nervous about it, so I'm gonna throw some WS in and tighten up the cover snug if at all loose then reseal after the LR Rally out here, but if leak persist then It's adios RP to fix the inspection plate seal.
