[QUOTE="Vash, post: 678737, member: 1159"] The half spider is just a shield that offers a bit if protection and mounts over the factory diff cover using the same bolts. Only a replacement diff cover like the Mag-hytec or similar will increase fluid capacity. If you didn't have leaks before the half spider install, I'm guessing you may not have used a good sealer applied to the bolt threads when threading the bolts for the spider/diff cover since the only place to leak would be around the bolt holes if the cover was never removed. This is also a reason why I prefer an aftermarket cover that uses an attached o-ring rather than having to lay down a bead of sealant like Right Stuff or RTV. Although, you still have to apply sealant to the bolts regardless of what type of diff cover seal is present. [/QUOTE]
