Oil leak from rear of car
I have an oil leak from what appears to be where the driveshaft enters the differential. Can anyone tell me what is needed to go about fixing this? Is there a gasket/seal in there to replace or do the u-joints act as gaskets? I'm not familiar with end of an f-body!

I don't have stock sized tires on the car, and I don't know if the computer has been reprogrammed to compensate for the change in speedo, so I don't know how accurate either of those methods would be.

Is it 6spd or auto? Auto would almost certainly have a PCM tuned for the gears, besides, you can get a friend to pace you or visa versa at a set upon agreed speed in something stock; or like 95% of people these days just use a portable GPS, they all tell you exact speed....even my iphone will do that. Most people have a smart phone or a least know someone who does.

Those rears are the exact same diameter as the stock ones; 275/40/17 or 245/50/16, the 35 series sidewall makes up it; I also have the 315/35/17 on my car. Mine runs 2100 rpm at 70mph in a cruise in 6th with 4.10's....when it had stock 3.42's it turned about 1600-1700 RPM at that same speed. Given that, you should easily figure out what yours has.
