okay so heres my issue, i did the full fluid fill/check/replace. and found that my front diff was dry and had a bit of peanut butter colored thick shit in it. my assumption is that it was submerged at some point, and thats why it was discolored so badly. i refilled the diff with fresh gear lube (80w-90) and drove around for a little while. today while looking at it i see quite more than just a weeping leak at the back of the diff where the shaft goes in. could this be something so simple as a seal has blown or something more sinister like the housing and bearing has ovaled out? thanks

check to be sure the pinion bearings feel tight... if theyre going the may get sloppy causing the seal to leak... just see if theres any play in the yoke89XJ Pioneer Edition 3.5" 33s ravines 4:10s 8.8- parted but not forgotten
