Jake, Maximum expansion great stuff fills in the large areas and when it is dry trim it down and use the small gap filler great stuff to seal it off. The small gap filer is more dense and does not let the oil sep into it. We take a thin peice of aluminum and plate off behind the ring gear first to make a form. This needs to go to the top of te housing so you can seal it to the cover. You can attach the aluminum or remove it when your filler cures.
