I should probably fix this...
Yeah since winter is pretty much over and I did A LOT of driving in the snow, I'm assuming I should fix this.
Is it a 10 min backyard DIY job or something that will take me a solid weekend to do?
This is an 02 Ranger XLT with the FX4 package. 5 speed dual stick.
Thanks.

EDIT: I should also ask... what kind of fluid goes in there? Is it regular oil? ATF? What is a friction modifier? Sorry for all the questions but I don't have much experience with drivetrains.

Awesome thanks for the info. I'm a little tight on cash but I have a chiltons guide. That will have to do for now.

LoL!!
Nah, it took all of 30 seconds and my trusty craftsman air ratchet to remove the diff cover.
I cleaned it up and threw some permatex gasket maker on there, along with the OEM gasket from Advance Auto. This didn't even take 30 mins.
The hard part was actually LOCATING the diff fill plug and finding a way to pour the friction modifier and axle lube in there w/out actually spilling any. Eventually, a 12" piece of 3/8 rubber fuel line was my saving grace.
This job took a little over an hour. Next time, it will take me 45 minutes.
Anyway, I've been driving around all day after this repair and no sign of leakage anywhere.
Thanks for everyone's help. I highly appreciate it!
