Topping up oil on type 9 + diff help
A painfully basic question.
I have a typr 9 gbox and I need to top up the oil becasue I think I have a leak.
Is this the refill? Its on the left but seems very low.
 
gearbox resize
Also I have a 7" 3.92:1 non LSD sierra diff with push in shafts. I cant see a top up bolt anywhere. All I have is a breather tube at the top.
Where is the top up bolt?
Thanks

Top up for the diff is on the back plate its a torx .
The cheat is to put a funnel on the breather and put oil in that way but you have no way to know how much you have in it
TORX 55 to be eaxct

The only torx bolts on the back plate of the diff are the ones holding it on!!
Ill have another look though.
Also I have found a large allen bolt on the side on the gbox but I would safe its well below half way down. As per the pic in OP.
Thanks for your help.
Any other advice or opinions about this would be good.
Also can I put GL5 in a GL4 stated gbox?

See my pictures at the bottom of THIS thread for the 2 different type 9 filler
plug locations.
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Diff level/filler plug is allen plug on the right hand middle of the back plate.
