I have an 05 NISMO Crew Cab 4x4. It has about 53K on it and I just noticed a problem with my rear axle/diff. The truck is mostly driven on the highway for the last 30000 miles or so and occasionaly pulls a small boat (1500-2000lbs). I changed all the drivetrain fluids about 20000 miles ago and used all nissan fluids. Last week I noticed a little drp on the driveway and found it to be coming from a small fitting on the rear axle. It looks to be a pressure relief vent, it is on the pass side of the axle about half way between the diff and the hub on top. There is a little bit of fluid leaking out that if not wiped off for several days will be just enough to drip a bit.
I went to the dealer and they were no help. They want 100.00 just to put their head under the truck and tell me if it is a problem or not. I know this vent part is only 15.00 from the dealer. Has anyone seen this or does anyone know what may be causing it? Thanks in advance for any help!
