Well the last time I went out snowbashing I had the ARB on the whole time. At the end of the trip I was told it was leaking oil. I got under there the next day and sure enough! Well I took it to the shop today after talking with a rep from ARB and he said that my O-Rings were not installed correctly. Well after the shop tested it all out they said it was in fact okay. I guess this is common when people "really" use their ARB's. What happens is the oil doesn't get sloshed around enough and can't cool the diff very good. This allows heat to build up which make the O-ring not seat as well and allow some leakedge. The added some limited slip fluid which is supposed to keep that from happing. I am assuming this is why people get the T/A type of covers for the rear end. If anyone has had something like this happen before and the shop totaly told me wrong let me know.
