Help with unknown leak....
Time to smog the car so I'm changing out the mid pipes today and noticed a horrible leak at the rear. As you can see in the first picture there is what seems to be differential oil on the mufflers. The 2nd picture was taken after I wiped off a thick layer of oil. Is it possible that were the drive shaft and the rear diff meet could have a leak? The red arrow in the last picture has a little bit of play, but I think that's normal.
My first guess was that the cover had a leak, but I didn't see anything.
Any ideas would be a great help!

It is not the torque of the pinion nut that is critical, but rather the torque required to turn over the differential, an indicator of the pinion bearing preload.
Here is the procedure, from the shop manual...
