Hairline crack in diff cover casing

[Gareth L]

Ok so I found out why my diff drips a bit of oil from time to time - found a small crack/split near the lower drain bolt - looks like it’s been over tightened at some point.

Any pointers on best way to remedy? Repair, weld (aluminium?), new cover, second hand etc? Any help appreciated….

Thanks

Worth trying to get it repaired if you can as they are now expensive new and rare second hand . New rubber bush now comes as a separate part and is pricey by itself.

You will need a decent aluminium welder.

Thanks Dave - I’ll go down the repair route first and see if I can sort it that way - thanks for the advice….

Looks fixable to me? ,

Thanks Dave - I hope so - I’ll update with how I get on, in case others encounter a similar issue in the future…
