Yea just use gear oil there is a plug around the top of the housing somewhere you just fill it all the way up till it leaks out of that hole.

I would go with what ever fluid you want but while your at it I would install this cover instead.

dont have $130 for a cover.. id say $35 for a chrome cover and gasket is worth the money although that trickflow cover is nice.. i just dont see the need for it

Actually the trick flow cover does serve a purpose that the crome one wont. It puts pressure on the bearings so the dont distort under load.

you should use 80w90 gear oil, they call it gear oil for a reason.

make sure you add at least 1 bottle of limited slip additive, ford is the best one.

the rear takes around 3 litres of oil.

the covers with bearing supports help for high horsepower applications, and make it easier to fill/drain, because they come with fill and drain plugs built in.

I have a T&A performance girdle cover and it is the same as the trickflow, and all the other covers like that.

there is no point to getting a chrome cover, unless your car is a showcar.
if the oil is coming from where the driveshaft bolts on it will be a little more involved than just changing the cover gasket.

it does leak where the driveshaft meets

whats the real problem then?
