Default 12bolt leakage

Ill see if I cant get some pictures, but as it sits in my garage right now the rear is leaking quite a bit. I put an oil pan underneath it and theres a few ounces of fluid in there. Has anyone else had problems with a leaky Moser? Could it be a pinion seal? I havent had much time at all to actually get underneath it, but was curious what the most common problems were.
Ive had it for 4 years and put about 45k miles on it. Didnt start leaking until I got back from my 2200 mile roadtrip.

If it leaks that bad I would guess cover. Pinion seal is very common but is just usually just a little wet at the front and you see nothing under the car....

A quick visual will tell ya.....

Mine was leaking too. I had several issues though. Then vent hose was puking fluid out and the axle seals were both leaking but the passenger side was really bad. I had oil all over my inner wheels in the back. I only have only put a few thousand miles on the set-up since the install (which was about 4yrs ago)

So its looking like its coming from the bottom of the cover. It sat for 2 weeks and I got maybe an ounce of fluid from under it.
How hard is it to replace the seals on these without dropping the sway bar or panhard?

I can take mine off by just rotating it around and up until you get it just at the right angle to slip out. It's not bad at all.
