Urgent Gear oil question

[alancordeiro at att.net]

I have been using Castrol 75W/90 for eight or ten years now.....
both in a 1986-5kq as well as in the 200q.  As always, YMMV.

I like Bernie's idea of adding in a small bottle of Stop-leak.  I may just 
do that in the
rear diff next time I top it off. ( I use 75W/90 there as well)
