Rear differential leak. I know to use gear grease and a grease gun, but I'm not quite sure where to put it. I'm hoping someone could explain it to me and a picture would be even better. Thanks

Depending on the year, it is either in the cover or it is on the housing shown in the attachment.

Here are more guides that will help performing this service:

I also attached the type of oil that is needed. This is different the grease so make sure you are getting the correct product.

Please let us know if there are questions. Thanks
