Hub Leak

[TXsizeK5]

Tiny drops of oil seep out when i drive out of the hubs in the 14bff it happened before so i RTV'd it. And it stilld oes it a bit, I duno if i tightened the bolts enuf, i know they are super tight, should i go ahead and tighten them more?

I think Randys ring and pinion has a torque spec sheet in one of his tech articles check there for tightness.

make sure both surfaces are clean and your fingers are clean before you apply the rtv. It should work fine as long as their isn't gearlube on the surfaces!!
