oil on garage floor under rear diff? seal? help...
2002 gt 38,000 miles
pulled it out of the garage today to do some work on the truck and when i went back in i noticed oil spots on the floor under where the rear diff would sit. i drive the car once or twice a week so im concerned that there is a seal back there that may have gone bad, around the where the drive shaft goes in? i lifted it up and look and i could not tell where it was comming from. plug, diff cover, or shaft seal? anyone have any input, thank you in advance.

when you say you coudn't tell where it was coming from was it because there is oil all over the diff area or none at all?

i should have clarified, i couldn't tell where it was coming from because there was oil, dirt, and road grime all in between the diff cover to the shaft. the bottom of the diff was well coated with just black crap. it a clean car all over, and its weird to see this.

mine was doing the same, i wiped it off though and it seems to have stopped.. if it continues ill get it rebuilt again.
I had mine rebuilt in 2008 with carbon clutch disks and it was good for 3+ years 25k+ miles. May need to have it done again though because it seems to slip only 1 wheel when going right + minor leak.
