I recently removed the driver and passenger half shafts and noticed oil soothing out. My question is where do you replace the oil that soothed out? There are a drain and a fill plugs located at the drivers side of the trans. Is this the fill and drain for the trans or driveshaft? What kind lubricant do I use? Im asking, because all over the net has some contradicting answers about what type of lubricant to use. Well I hope someone can answer my wuestions. thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response and help. I had a fit trying to figure out where the diff drain and fill is at. This answered my question.
