Well i am finished after fighting with the plug for filling the unit (had to use heat) I also had to replace the cover plate due to it being rotted i have it all done. I thank you guys one and all for the continuing info i get here from everyone. By the way the oil was wayyyyyyyyyyyyy bad looked like chocolate milk when i emptied it.
No problem. Glad to help!

No wonder my cover leaked and I had a mess inside the housing. The case, gears, bearings, and cover were all coated with a sticky residual gook (whatever is left of the RTV).
RTV silicone gasket sealer is NOT compatible with synthetic oil. Do NOT use it. Instead, use "Ultra Grey", "Ultra Black", or "Ultra Blue" by Permtex(sp?). You can get it just about any where (Auto Zone, Napa, Schucks, CarQuest, etc). Wal-Mart does not carry any though. It should be hanging real close to the RTV. One tube is about $4 and will seal 5 or so diff covers.
