Default leaking rear end

Anyone else had this problem 15k on it you think it would be solid. Been dripping/
I am guessing there is no gasket? How hard is it/ should be simple but you never know? What kinda of friction oil do you use?
Thanks for your help dudes

sounds like a cracked diffeentilo cover to me, soame thing happened to mine. there is no gasket, it is acaulk type sealer that is out on the cover when installed. if it is infact cracked the only fix is to replace it. mine just had 2 tinyhairline cracks in i, but it was slowly leaking.

royal purple and redline are both good fluids. Also, not being an @ss, but did you check the bolts on the cover. I say this because I had one try to back out because after the gear swap, I didnt let the lock tight sit long enough.

i would just see if there are any that seem looser than the rest. if it is leaking through a crack you might be able to see it.
