Hi, not new to racing but new to sports racers and I jumped in the deep end. My pace is very slow and my car is still not reliable, but I’m fixing issues, learning, and having a great time!
My car uses a Hewland FTR gearbox, and I just had it rebuilt. Inspecting the rear of the car, on one side of the gearbox I found a mess of pink grease splattered about the left gearbox/axle area as shown in the photo. I am still quite ignorant about how the gearbox, differential, and axle assemblies and their lubrication systems work. I’m hoping to learn.
Can you experienced racers help me to understand what my pink greasy mess is, what it likely means, and what I should do aside from cleaning it up?
I attached an image, but the attachment resolution is low, so I uploaded a higher resolution copy here: https://i.imgur.com/fuVjnMq.jpg
