    Have a small drip from rear end housing. Have tried JB Weld. No joy. Cannot find exact source of leak. Any good Spray On stuff ?

    You won't be able to seal it externally. The gasket or seal will have to be addressed.

    Your gonna have to replace the gasket. It’s an easy fix. Just make sure you refill it with the correct fluids.

    This is a vid on the complete tear down and reassembly. Should have some good info to guide thru the repair.

    Leak coming from back side of housing. outside seam below filler plug. Welded. No gasket. What are best epoxy sealers that are resistant to oil ?

    I would consider get it welded closed or maybe a patch plate welded/added to the area.

    I just don't think an epoxy will work .
