what diff oil
my diff used to drip, its now stopped. Thats definately a bad sign! Trackday monday, and ive only just thought about topping it up. Will 10-40 oil do
the trick temporarily, or is that a bad idea?

It depends.
There's less friction with engine oil so the diff turns easier and lets your engine unleash more raw power  but the diff will not last as
long. As a temporary measure it might be better than no oil but being thinner it may run out quicker.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

god dont let the bikers on here know your leaking oil, they'll have your hands cut off. . . .
a trip down halfords for you i think, its not worth buggering your diff over a bit of oil.

Let me know if you're stuck. I've got some left from my build and could bring it down to 'Boro.
