Just purchased an MT and I noticed that both front and rear diff cases were leaking out of the box. Are there any solutions for this? I was thinking about just tearing the diffs down and double checking the seals. Not a hard fix, just wondering if anybody else has had this issue.
 
So I'm in the middle of the break-down process when I noticed the screw heads underneath the chassis for the gear mount are all stripped to hell. Looks like I'll be doing some Dremeling tomorrow. Hopefully I can find a stainless screw set for replacements. Good thing I decided to tear it down completely, it'll save me some issues later on. Are there any other upgrades I should consider while I have it torn down? Also, when I was test fitting the DDM pipe I noticed the exhaust port threads were pretty grungy, it looks like they caught the gasket when they tightened it up and caked it into the threads. So I might need to go out and find a thread chaser to clean them out.
