I would think that more heat is generated by driving technique or "too tight" brakes, than the cut of the gears. Sure it is designed to work one way, but it is not a hypoid. Only later U.Cs had a pinion seal at all. I doubt the T16 has a spiral slinger. The earlier carriers had nothing to stop the oil migrating (which it must have done, or they would never had modified them)
Rob,I think you covered it in the last line of your previous post.( #15)
Should these diffs with wet brakes, run a special oil?
btw. I have no experience with a T16 (except to look in one at W&P 2014)
Jon, If you suspect the breather valve, you could do away with it and run a (non kinked) hose to an inside the hull fuel filter?
