    Intake
    Vararam - ram air; bad quality; lets dirt into engine
    Callaway honker - seems to be better quality per discussion thread

    Halltech - No idea on quality

    Diff leak: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...ing-fluid.html
    Just to let you know, oil can also come out of the differential's vent located at the top/drivers side of the differential. Once and awhile on my Zee, I would notice oil on the floor dripping off of the driver's side of the differential cover ... but if I wiped my finger around the LH seal it was dry.

    So I thought it might be the LH cover O-ring (also a common problem). I also found oil residue up near the vent ... and ultimately concluded that the venting oil would run down the gap between the LH side cover and the differential body and drip off the bottom of the LH cover.

    It can be very deceiving on where the oil is actually coming from, and suggest you determine exactly where it's coming from before going in for a repair that might not be required.



    GM TSB:
    Recommendation/Instructions:
    When installing the rear axle side cover(s) a new o-ring and axle seal should be installed and a material such as LoctiteŽ 518 should be applied to the outboard side of the o-ring. The sealant should be allowed to set prior to filling the axle with oil and driving.

    Part Numbers (Correct as of 9/2/03)
    Side Cover O-Ring Seal - 89047953
    Axle Seal - 88996703

    Make sure you use wheel bearing grease to lube the new seal were it meets the axle and you will not have any seal "break-in" issues at all.
    They also suggest replacing the o-ring that seals the cover
    Make sure you get the GM positrac additive for the rear end when you refill the gear lube.

    there is a fill plug and drain plug on diff
    fill vent plug is a pressure relief valve. Will ooze diff oil out under hot heavy load.
    if fill vent plug is blocked, it may cause a leak under pressure elsewhere.

    step1: drain the diff, fill with new gear oil + oil additive, replace both plugs. clean up entire area.
    step2 : after two weeks check where the leaks occur. Is output shaft seal oily? if not the leak is somewhere else.
