Range Rover HST Differential Oil Leak Repair Dubai

At Meta Mechanics, we understand that a differential oil leak can compromise the performance and safety of your Range Rover HST. The differential is crucial for transferring power from the engine to the wheels, and any oil leak can lead to serious damage if left unaddressed. Our experienced technicians recently completed a differential oil leak repair for a Range Rover HST in Dubai, diagnosing the issue and implementing the best solution to restore your vehicle’s performance.

Issues Identified During the Differential Oil Leak Inspection:

1. Worn Differential Seals: The primary cause of the oil leak was worn-out seals in the differential. Over time, the seals can deteriorate, allowing oil to leak out and causing a lack of lubrication to the differential components.
   Solution:
   We replaced the worn-out differential seals with new OEM-quality seals to prevent oil leaks and ensure the differential is properly lubricated, avoiding any long-term damage.
2. Damaged Differential Cover Gasket: A damaged gasket on the differential cover was found to be leaking oil. The gasket provides a seal between the differential cover and housing, and when it wears out or becomes damaged, oil can escape.
   Solution:
   We replaced the differential cover gasket with a new OEM gasket, ensuring a tight seal and preventing further oil leakage from the differential housing.
3. Cracked Differential Housing: The differential housing showed signs of cracking, which allowed oil to leak out. This type of damage is often caused by impact or stress over time, leading to a significant loss of fluid.
   Solution:
   We carefully inspected the housing for any further damage and repaired or replaced the cracked differential housing with a high-quality replacement to restore its integrity and prevent future leaks.
4. Overfilled Differential Fluid: In some cases, overfilling the differential with fluid can cause excessive pressure, leading to leaks. We identified that the differential had been overfilled, causing fluid to escape through weak points in the housing.
   Solution:
   We drained the excess fluid and refilled the differential to the manufacturer-recommended level, preventing pressure buildup and ensuring proper fluid circulation for optimal performance.
5. Loose Differential Drain Plug: A loose or improperly tightened drain plug was found to be contributing to the leak. This small yet crucial part is often overlooked, but it can lead to oil leaks and potential differential failure.
   Solution:
   We tightened the differential drain plug to the correct torque specification and applied a new drain plug washer to ensure a tight seal and prevent further leakage.
