Default Finally Happened

Well I was cruisin to work around 65/70 mph when all of a sudden Bam!!! Felt like I hit something in the road. So I pulled over to check it out and I found this.


Well got it home and had time this afternoon to actually pull the diff cover to find this.





So what should I do next. Would it be safe to drive for a few days till I get my new rear in since it is my DD?
