- Hello, listers, I replaced the differential cover gasket on my TR3 when I first got it, because there was a fair amount of leakage. I must have done a poor job, because it's worse than before. Aftr s

- Are you certain the cover/housing gasket is where it's leaking ? My experience has been that they're pretty easy to seal. But, if the front seal is leaking, or you've got a tube loose in the pumpkin
