Did you change the axle(s) oil?

I am sure once on the road you will find other things.

LOL yes I did change the oil but have a constant leak out of the back of my valve cover I am thinking its only cause whoever was in there last broke off a bolt towards the back of the cover and just left it like that any good hunts on getting it drilled back out? I bought a easy out kit but cant get the bit to bite into the stud

Using a reversing drill bit to drill out the part still in the head. This way it may screw out when drilling it for the easy out.


IIRC each easy out uses a certain size drill bit to work right.


You may wind up drilling it out larger and using a Helicoil to fix the threads.
