2021 Force Gurkha: Fixing a rear differential spreader hole oil leak

After sealing the cover and re-filling oil it was clear that leak was from spreader hole.

BHPian phantomlord recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

There was oil leak near diff rear cover, I was concerned it could be from case spreader hole. Gurkha has elaborate arrangement to vent diff and transfer case above 700mm, such leaks mean water will enter diff or transfer case while water wading. Force representative told oil leak from spreader hole is not likely, so planned to re-seal the cover.

Leak location

Diff cover removed.

Cleaned Cover

Case spreader holes are not properly sealed, weld looks poor.

Used JB weld to seal it, as of now it's working fine.
