[DeTomaso] Odd ZF Leak

[Mike Thomas]

Thanks Mike, that makes sense.
>From looking at the diagram, I'd be risking dropping the gear drive into the
ZF if I try to pull the angle drive to replace either one.  I'll give my
builder a call.

IIRC both the ZF and the angle drive are threaded so you have to get the nut
on the angle drive thread backed out far enough or you can be tight on the
ZF but not truly snugged down  on the angle drive, if that makes sense.




There are is a rubber seal on the speedo gear and a rubber O-ring on the
speedo gear housing (the thing that the angle drive screws to), and either
one of those could be the source of your leak.
