Thanks Q8...but I filled the box through the orange cap hole, with the drain plug and the correct fill hole plugged. I put enough oil in so that oil started to drip out the same hole I was filling from (the orange cap hole).
It seems I've put more oil in the box than I would have if I had used what is apparently the correct fill hole ( which I assume is above the drain hole)
Any problem with this? Any risk of damaging the bevel box?
The reason I ask is that since changing the BB oil, the low RPM rattle, which I assumed (and was told by my dealer) was the compensator, and which has been plauging the car, and worsening with time, has utterly and happily disappeared! I posit that the old BB goo was allowing some nasty driveline resonance due to insufficient lubrication. To note, I live in a hot climate, just like GreyGoose, I wonder whether the old oil additives and 100 degree F temps don't agree with each other.
