i needed to put some extra weight in my trunk this past week, and i also needed to transport my extra LSD, so i put it back there and sat it in a spare tire.
well i forgot is was there and i tossed the car sideways and rlled the diff.
i noticed a smell this morning and it seems the diff rolled over a bit and leaked some fluid into my trunk… made a bit of a mess, nothing bad.
i guess you’re supposed to change the fluid anyways when you change it so i am not too worried.
i put the diff in my garage and it leaked a bit more because of the way i sat it down.
what i want to know is if the fluid is toxic or anything?
i cant clean up the garage tonite, nor do i have time to thoroughly clean up my trunk until the weekend, but the stuff wreaks like ass, and it gave my bro a head ache when he was wrkign out in the garage.
is it potentially hazardous, or does it just wreak…
nah i didnt cpnsume it, but my mom is worried it’ll stain her new garage floor, there is a small puddle in teh garage and i dont have any saw dust or cat litter or anythign to soak it up with.
All you have there is heavily burnt 80w90 gear oil, smells like ass, but not harmful, and yes it will stain concrete and asphalt… so try to clean the concrete with any solvent…, driveway requires re-sealing for big leaks or little ones can use driveway degreaser…
Get some stuff called “TSP” (Tri-Sodium Phosphate) from a hardware store, you mix it with some warm water to make it a paste then you scrub it around on the grease, should get “most” of it out.
It usually comes in what looks like a small milk carton. Works wonders.
Edit:
Forgot to add, use it on the concrete/asphalt NOT your trunk
