I have noticed that my differential (I guess you would call it) is wet. I notice that on my driveway that there are drops present. I told the dealership about it but they attirbuted it to the overflow. I did not think much more about since my driveway has a tilt to it. I started to park the car pointing down but still see the drips.
Anyone else see this kind of behaviour? :confused:

Spray it will degreaser and then the water hose and if it comes back then you got a problem and you can then tell them you did that and that something is really leaking.

Apparently there is a real problem!!
I finally "squeaked" loud enough that the dealership looked beyond a quick visual. It appears that my other problem was also related to this.

I was told when they had the car on a hoist and running that the fluid in the diff was flowing quite nicely out of the overflow screen. :eek: They called Mazda to discuss the situation and had to order a new part. Should be in Monday. :)

It would be great to have these 2 problems go away with one full swipe... :D
