Hey Folks,
Been getting a weird whistling/whining noise from the front of my 742. It only does it sporadically when idling at low speed (5-15mph) after about 30 minutes of brisk driving and a few high RPM pulls. Best we can tell it seems to be coming from the front of the chunk, yoke/pinion seal area. Car runs great, no gear noise, vibration or signs of gear damage when driving. Also does it when rolling slowly in neutral, forward and backwards. For example, it does it when rolling backwards down my driveway in neutral at 1-2 mph. Does not do make noise when car is not rolling. Replaced vent bolt, oil level full. Though noticed some oil leaking from the pinion seal. I'm stumped.
Here's a video. Was rolling at about 5mph and idling to a stop.
Thanks in advance,
Pat
