Is it common for the gasket to fail at some point in time. My front cover seems to have developed a small leak, had to top it off alittle the other day.

Did mine just this weekend. Used Amsoil Synthetic Gear Lube. There is a small indicator on the Diff cover pan showing the fluid level line. The Gasket is reusable but I got a new one (OEM). Needed 3 Quarts at the most. Takes about 1/2 hr to do. You don't need to do this often just check the Level once in awhile. Mine was very clear and clean. The plug has a magnet on it so just check for metal build up. Otherwise don't worry about.[sm=icon_cheers.gif].
