10 bolt leaking What can we do about the front seal of the rear end leaking? is there a gasket other than stock because I have replaced mine twice and it still tosses oil all over. I leaked a little less than half a bottle of oil in 3 months and the underside of my car is black and nasty.
help.

Check for an out-of-spec pinion angle, that's one
good way to get excessive yoke wobble and seal
leakage. Seals won't hold unless the pinion runs
true. Also check that there is not too much side
play on the pinion (if there is any you can feel,
might have to tighten the pinion nut some. This
might have implications to your internal setup?).
Could also go up to some heavy weight diff oil
and slow the leakage at least.

when I put my gears in I guessed with the spacers compared to my stockers, was that bad? I do get a good deal of whine, but that is expected with ricmond gears. I dont know much about rears...how do I check for an out of spec pinion angle? Should I just remove the whole thing and do a once over?
