Help with leaking rear diff.
I have a 91 pick up 4x4 with a 22re. I have replaced the input shaft seal on the rear diff a couple times. I don't know what would cause it to start leaking so soon after replacing it. Thanks for any help, Danny

I have a similar problem only mine is leaking from the front Diff, and it looks like it's coming from what my Haynes Manual describes as the drain plug. However...I can't seem to find a filler plug.
My theory is that perhaps a washer is beneath the drainplug, thus the seal has gone bad? Any ideas?

It may be the breather being clogged, as mentioned here. I saw that on another thread recently. If it's leaking around the gasket I have a DIY in my sig for an 87 4Runner gasket replacement.
How does one check the breather exactly and how is it cleaned/replaced?

The breather just screws into the axle housing, unscrew it and see if its plugged, clean it and put it back on.
