Moist areas from which no fluid is dripping off or draining away do not represent cause for complaint. These are caused by the phenomenon of
"sweating" (see attachment).
This "sweating" cannot be avoided with the current state of the art and does not have any negative effects. This sweating may also be caused by
pregreasing of the pinion sealing ring.
Remedy:
Repairs due to sweating only produce an aesthetic improvement and are not justified.
To perform a precise check, clean the affected area thoroughly with a cloth and monitor over an appropriate period of time (approx. 1 week or max.
1000 km).
If necessary, check the rear axle oil level and the housing ventilation up to the frame crossmember.
If fluid is dripping or draining off visibly, a leak is present which must be eliminated by performing appropriate repair work as described in WIS.
If a leak is present, also replace the standard oil drain screw with a magnetic oil drain screw A 000 990 58 17.
