I think you broke something in the rear, more than likely spider gears in the carrier from your description. Only way to find out is to take off the cover. You'll more than likely see a whole bunch of metal chunks and slivers stuck to the magnet on the cover. Good news is, if your ring and pinion gears are in good condition, you'll just need to replace the carrier which is not all that hard. Tell us what you find.

Depends on how much you can find a carrier for. I think I bought mine (used) for about $100 and I installed it myself. You'll also need a dial indicator with a magnetic base to check the back lash of the new carrier. This is only if you busted the carrier and nothing else. Take a look inside, tell us what you find and we can give you a better estimate of how much $$$ it's going to take to fix it.

About the fluid coming out when removing the two bolts from the torque arm, I'm not sure why you would have any fluid coming out. You shouldn't have any leaking when taking out the torque arm bolts, unless the fluid came from the pinion seal. Our 10-bolts are prone to leaking from there.
