Default Rear End Seal

How do you make these rearends stronger? I just had the seal replaced 2 weeks ago and its leaking again. The mechanic that put it on for me said its because i get on the gas to hard.... To me this is a pretty big weak point and needs attention before I keep moding the motor, any advice on wat to do would be appreciated.

Where is it leaking? The pinion seal seems to be a chronic problem on these cars and the consensus seems to be to leave it alone unless it's dripping on the ground.

The comment about it leaking because you get on the gas too hard is a load of crap.

I got it fixed when i first got the car and was told the rearend was almost dry,Well it didnt leak for about 2 weeks then i was leaving the track and stabed it, next morning there was puddle in the garage. Driving down the road there is loud humming sound that never heard before, my thought is the rearend is low on fluid??

I have had cronic pinion seal leaks...I haven't been able to find the cure yet either. If there is any advice out there it would be great.
