No such thing as a dumb question Ric. The initial fluid that leaked out did have a very minor amount of water in it. But I don't think enough to cause an issue. I thought of RTV but to get at it I would have had to remove at least the skid plate and I wasn't sure it would work with the amount that was coming out.

H2 Rocks, yep mines a 03. Fortunately I'm under warranty. I wonder if they will change it to the newer diff? Thanks for the info.

I live in sunny Nor Cal...LOL Lately we have had the worst storms in my lifetime. The ranch is in the Napa Valley area which suffered flooding and is rumored to have had 8 inches of rain in one night!!! We cleared 4 land slides and filled in 3 steams crossing the road and the storm was over a week ago! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
They changed mine at 49k miles, but lucky for me I had taken it in ONCE, and they documented the hairline fracture. It had only previously been dripping very, very slowly, not enough to drip on the driveway, but enough to put spots inside the skid plate. I learned that this was a problem GM knew about but never recalled. They just wait for one to fail, then replace it. I understand some folks have had them fail without ever leaving the pavement. Supposedly they changed the differential covers to prevent this from happening again.

Keep Dry!
