Default Rear End Leak

My past two camaros have had juicy rear ends from day one pretty much. Is this normal for our cars or do i just have bad luck. They don't leak bad they are just juicy all the time. Should I be worried or is it ok??

Where is it leaking from?

If you run a search you'll see that the pinion seals are very poor in these vehicles.

I had to replace my pinion seal and a carrier bearing this weekend. My friend suffered from the same "leaky" differential. He's replaced the seal on his 3 times already.

Default Rear End Leak

I had the same problem on my firebird, I had to have the seal replaced, but I ran at least 5000 miles before I had it replaced and had no problems.
