how much does a differential maintenance run me? would it be a gasket?

Oh wow I was going to do change the fluid in my diff, because it was leaking. but i have the same leak on my mufflers but no oil on the body, but mine has a leak from the muffler to the piping. anything serious?

Would changing my differential seal and fluid get rid of the problem Posind U

If that's case, of course. I'm just taking a guess based on the pattern of the spray. Have a rear end shop put the car in the air. They'll be able to tell you. If you don't already have them it would be a good time to have gears installed.

Im assuming I wouldnt be able to install a set a gears is that correct?

Like I said, now would be a good time....
