Is Your Rear Pinion Seal Leaking?
Does your gas tank look like this?
Does your rear diff look like this?
Does your rear diff look like this underneath?
Now if you are still not sure take out the rear pinion seal and compare it to a new one?
Yep, I think it was toast and needed replacing.
Took all of 30 minutes and no more leaking.

Jeez. I wish mine only took me 30 minutes. Mine was so seized in there I had to cut it out with a dremel and mini cutting wheel thing. I tried to muscle it out before. Took me nearly 3 hours to finally get it out!!

what? How would air tools make it so much faster. All you gotta do is drop the shaft, take off the flange and theres the seal. What was a PITA was the seal itself!
