Stock rearend leaking fluid even after I replaced pinion seal???
SO I took my car to the track and when I got home I noticed that the rearend was leaking a little fluid. It was hard to tell where it was coming from because it hit the driveshaft and went everywhere. So It was mainly dripping where the traction bar connects right under the diff. So I changed the pinion seal and it didn't do anything.
Any idea where this could be coming from?

Well if you changed the pinion seal you should have installed a new crush sleeve and reset the pinion preload. If you did not do this your pinion bearings could be trashed.

check your yoke for a groove where the seal rides on it,, if it is grooved you can pick up a "speedy sleeve" from the parts store, they seem to work pretty good and they are cheap if you dont want to buy a new yoke
