Torsen swap....now leaking fluid everywhere
Well, I did my torsen swap a few weeks back, now I'm leaking a lot of differential oil all over the place...I can't see where it is coming from but its enough that it being 'thrown' on the muffler and on the cover for the fuel filter, its on the passenger side, any ideas? Its a good amount of oil.

did you replace the seals where the stub shafts go? acutally, you need to pinpoint it.
there are only a few places:
seal for pinon
seal for axles
where the two halves meet
drain plug
fill plug

I'd bet it is the axle seals...the guy I bought it front said I might want to do it..*sigh* lol
can I get the axle seals from mazda?
Its just on the right side, but its fluid is on the chassis...control arms, muffler...so thats why I think its on the side...b/c the axle seem to be throwing it around.
I did change the fluid, I put redline in, it was clean when I bought it
EDIT: I just used some degreaser and washed it down, I'm going to take it for a drive around the block see what comes out of it.
How bad is it to run around low on oil?

well, I drove it today, it seems to have stopped leaking...I'll check in a day or so. I gotta finish completely degreasing it so I can see if its actually not spraying everywhere.
