I am at my wits end.....
I have resealed the rear end of my truck twice now. The first time it leaked right off the bat. Probably because I put in fluid 5 mn after I put on the gasket maker. However, last time I let it harden for over an hour. Now it has started leaking again. This was warped pretty badly, to the point you could lift one edge off the floor about a 1/4" by pushing on the other side. However, I ground it down with an angle grinder to flatten it out, and it was pretty dang good. So, I assumed it would work since gasket maker is flexible and fills in where needed etc. However, here I am again- starting at a leaking rear end. It left a 4 in. puddle (Yes, a puddle, not just a spread) between 10pm and 9am this morning. So, it is a pretty good leak. What the heck? SHould I really just send it to someone and have them machine it down to perfectly flat? WIll that solve it? What else should I be trying? It is driving me crazy. Help.
