    hello, looking to get some input. stopped by for a oil change as im on the road rn, and the tech pointed that he noticed a small leak at the cv joint where the clamp is. the other cv axle seems completely fine. i took some pics and wanted some input. im going to be driving about 1000 miles more until im back home, and then once im home ill look at getting it repaired/fixed. do you think this is a situation where i have to get it fixed asap? or should i be fine getting it fixed once im back home? thanks!

    Yeah I know what you mean! It's just for piece of mind because when they were tightened with a wrench it leaked a slight bit so I torqued it to 29 each and now it seems like it's good. I checked the level as well and barely anything leaked iht

    attached pic of service manual. he is correct. seems like 24 ft lbs for both the front and rear fill and drain plug and also 30lb ft for the case(i think its on the other page)

    well i tightened up to 24 ft lbs for the plugs and the difference was minimal. i barely applied any muscle and it clicked for 24. it was at 13 ft lbs before is the difference between 13ft lbs and 24 ft lbs barely anything?

    Yeah I've read the same thing as @newdude front diff fill plug and drain plug 24 ft lb rear diff case bolts 29 ft lb and rear diff fill plug 24 lb ft thag means I should probably tightener up a bit more

    Did my fluids last night in a 2007 escalade ext, and on a YouTube video I saw the guy with the same truck and he did: Front diff fill plug 13 lb foot Front diff drain plug 13 lb foot Rear fill plug 13 lb foot Rear diff cover case 13 lb ft i used the same torque specs that he did but when i read online it seems like its 24lb ft for the drain and fill plug, and then 29lb ft for the rear cover bolts. ive been driving around for a day or two and no leaks. i should probably torque it up to 24 and 29 if its supposed to be that high
