correct me if I am wrong but I am sure they use a proper gasket not silicon like that. I am on the dealers side here. + you should have noticed fluid all over your driveway if it leaked enough to cause damage. Sorry man, looks like its time to get a 4.67 FD hahaha!

The dealer who you bought it from may have had no idea the diff was ever modified. It's an unfortunate situation, but the dealers don't seem to be at fault.

Too bad your first post had to be bad news...... Since you bought the car used and any warranty work has been declined by the dealer and the manufacturer, I'm ah feared you are on your own. I would suggest that you take it to a reputable auto shop and have the differential opened up and examined. (oh, BTW, does it have any fluid left in it .. ??) The redneck solution would be to clean all the grease/oil off the differential and surrounding area, tighten all the bolts/nuts around the casing, fill it with fluid, drive it for a while then check for leaks. If it still leaks or still makes noise, you are most likely looking at buying a new differential (worst case). I hope you get it fixed. Keep us posted. humfrz |

That sucks. But I agree with the others. Chances are the original owner screwed it up. The dealer you bought it from should have noticed the leak IF they did any kind of inspection. Regardless, it's on you at this point. I don't see how this is Subaru's fault. Bummer.
Lesson learned: have a pre-purchase inspection done by an independent specialist before ever buying a used car. |

Sounds like dealer screwed you.... you can try arguing with them.... But I would say it's time for 4.4 or 4.7 final drive swap... You will smell @ the new found power. (or 5.1 if you don't drive on highway..xD) |

Didn't the used care dealer give you at least a 6 month warrantee? If not, I can understand why Subaru will not cover it since it looks like it was tampered with.
