Title: Tag Axle Oil Plug Leak?
Post by: Barry & Donna on October 22, 2013, 05:59:47 pm

Just wondering if anyone has had the oil plug on there Tag Axle leak?
Noticed a very small amount of oil slung out around center cap after I made about a 30 mile warm up drive.
I pulled the cap and did not find any obvious oil around axle. About the only thing I can come up with is that maybe the plug is seeping a little while driving. Oil level checked full.
What should the axle nuts be torqued at?

Thanks

Barry, Over filled hub will do exactly that, in addition, replace the rubber plug, they seem to shrink over time! Also make sure he little vent hole in the rubber cap is open.
Cheers
