I've been noticing a small puddle in the garage every now and then. I redid my diff fluid a few months ago. The dripping is definitely not coming from the gasket, I can follow the stains down from the input shaft.

So what do you think is wrong?

I think you may have a leak....

Yeah, but what would cause it to leak from there and how do I fix it.

pinion seal...i need to replace mine too. Mine is doing the same thing

So is that normal? I'm at 65k miles.

lol, well i wouldnt say its normal. but its relatively easy to get replaced by you or cheap if you take it to a shop. Its cold, snowy and such here i will probably just take it to a shop and it should take 1 hour or so to do the work. the seal is $10 or so. Im out $100 max vs spending 2-3 hours of my time in the cold on my back doing it

i had the same problem with my car at about 70,000 miles.. replaced the pinion seal and the leak went away

Cool. Thanks. I'm thinking this may be one I just pay a shop to do. Don't feel like being under the car again for a while after the LT install.
