[s-cars] Paging Igor re V8 Diff Seals

[Mark Pollan]

That would be your basic CV type grease that was not cleaned up.  There also
s a paper "gasket" that goes between the flange and the CV joint.  Bentley
says to replace 'em.  Never did on my 5KTQ.  Have not one there yet on the
S6.

Sean,

I will be filling the V8 diff with new fluid, but I was asking about
the connecting points where the drive shaft bolts on and the two rear
axels bolt on.  The diff now has a fair amount of grease in those
three locations.
