Apears to be missing a ring gear bolt.

Yep, that was fast
Rich lost 3 ring gear bolts, diff cover got cracked and was leaking oil.. luckily we noticed it leaking before they did any more damage.

I wonder if Rich will replace the diff cover or live with your JB-weld repair?
It's kinda strange that he was not able to find one bolt. The ring gear did not look as if it had chewed up the bolt but the diff-fluid did look a little sparkly.

I plan on getting a new cover and putting some LOC TITE on all of the bolts.

I would bet money that missing bolt is sitting in the channel in the diff housing for the front pinion bearing. Time to atleast pull the carrier out and do some fishing around in there just in case it gets loose.
