Rear end takes 1 Imperial pint / 1.2 US pints of SAE90 Hypoid Gear Oil.
That is a fill plug; drain by removing the cover. I believe that you can
also use it as a "fill indicator" (on level ground, pump in gear oil until
it comes back out; then it's full) but you should confirm this elsewhere to
be certain.

Subject: Rear end leaks
I have a 76 spitfire that my son and I are restoring. The rear differential
was leaking and I just tightened the nuts which were a little loose but not
falling out by any means. There is a drain plug on the side of the diff.
Is this where you put new gear lube in? Also, what weight gear lube is
recommended for these spitfires.
Thanks in advance.
