[QUOTE="Paul C7 to C8, post: 311990, member: 3849"] Late response to the thread.... I change my own fluids on the C7, and perhaps because of the awkward location of where the fill plug is located, someone got lazy and or perhaps did not torque the plug to specs, and, in due course the plug started to shake itself loose..... lucky you caught it! I would also suggest that upon initial refill of the rear diff, when you start to notice some of the fluid drip out, don't put the plug back in yet, let the car sit for at least 20 to 25 minutes then refill and put the plug back in. Then drive the car for a day and recheck. Generally speaking, it then takes another 3-4 oz.. and make sure that the car is perfectly level. Even if the rear is just a couple of inches lower, the fluid will start to pour out early and the diff will not be full. Yes replacing the plug gasket can be beneficial, but I have never had a problem with replacing every other time. [/QUOTE]
