Patrick, I put straight 90w oil in my final drive. So, you're saying that I
need to add moly or I need to get a 90w with moly in it already?? BOb

Yikes. The spiral gears of the rear drive pinion and crown create
special shear forces on the oil which do not occur in engines or
transmissions. You really need the moly additive to combat these
forces. Moly is generally thicker than oil, so I doubt it would be the
cause of a leak.
