I cant remember exactly but there are two lines that essentially "snap" into place and have a keeper ring that keeps them from popping out. These two lines plug into the diff cover. Both popped out. Clearly it was an assembly line mistake where the person that plugged them in at the factory didn't perform this step correctly.
Mine never leaked a drop before the catastrophic issue. I am unsure how the pump system works. It could be that it does not operate until the temps rise, or it could just be that the higher pump pressure related to the heat caused them both to pop out.
The selling dealer did end up reimbursing me $100 for the service I paid at the track. However, no concessions were made on behalf of the lost track time, car clean up from the smelly diff fluid all over the rear underside and back of the car, Ford service checking that all was operating correctly after the issue, etc. (As a side note, if I was running at COTA, I would have had to pay thousands for track clean up.)
Ford made it crystal clear to me that when it comes to track time, its all about marketing and not about customer support while using the car on the track in which it was advertised for use. Makes me wonder about the "GT350 Track Attack" and what thats all about...
I wonder if Porsche treats GT3 or GT4 owners the same.
