Default 96 S10 Front Differential Help!

I need a plug of some sort for my 96 front differential. I made one up for now that will prevent snow/mad and the like from getting up there but need a real plug asap!

Does anyone know where to get one, and also what kind of oil go's in there?

I was told that I didn't need oil in the front differential but according to the different posts I've read there should be some in there?

I already had my Front Diff. replaced once and would rather not have to do it again.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Ken

P.S. if you could post/refer me to some pictures that show what the plug should look like and how it go's in that would be a great help as well.

Could somebody at least refer me to a link that would tell me about my front differential?

Are you talking about the filler plug? If not, what are you trying to plug? Maybe post a picture to help us understands what it is you need.

If it's the filler plug you need you could try a place like pick-n-pull or an autowrecker. You should be able to get a new one from the dealer too.

Sorry, I was thinking it was the front differential and it turns out it was the flywheel that the plug is missing to. I took it to my Uncles who has worked on cars all his life and he told me that it was actually the flywheel. Being that they are right next to each other and I'm not that experienced with cars yet, I thought it was the differential. That explains why I couldn't find one at all online.
Sorry for my goof up.

If you still need a picture let me know and I'l take one tomorrow.
