Looks like I have the pinion seal leak, so i figured before they replace it I'd free up the vent to see if it was the culprit (still under warranty until 1/2011, so no worries) . The thing is, it's so rusted I'm afraid it'll snap off in which case I'd be ****ed. What are the odds it'll break? WHen they do the pinion seal, do they check the vent?
Also, is it defintive that the casue of pinion seal is the vent being frozen? In other words, is it possible that the seal went for other reasons? It has only 14,500 miles. I did change the oil putting in Amsoil 75W-140 back in August. I filled it just shy of the fill hole per the FSM, so for sure it wasn't overfilled.
