Just thought I would share my little discovery. Started to notice some seepage out of the ZF not a big deal . Then my truck blew up and the Pantera become my main mode of transportation .That seepage quickly become a issue , not saying it was leaving a puddle wherever it was parked but left a spot almost always, even quick stops . I really didn't know what or why all of a sudden ?,little over 48k+ on the car that I inherited from my father and he bought it with 14k in 1975 / 79? . So after checking all nuts & bolts , and staring at it , a lot , Light Bulb , took the old breather tube off got a zip tie stuck it down the little metal fitting , notice more resistance than it should , imho, spun it around and in and out new hose drove around and no more leakage . Guessing over time sporadic use, heat, sitting , driven a little then sitting for a few more years,,,,,,,, Anyway if your zf has had a similar symptoms without a lot of miles , worth a try .
