So how common are leaky pinion seals and seeping rear mains on the LS's?
Gimme an excuse to take the rear apart..

No pinion seepage at all at almost 80k. . . Rear main is very slow, very very slow. . . . But, everything else seeps the same, oil pan, front main, tail shaft seal and diff cover.
No leaks at all just seepage. . . .
Some cars just do it more then other from what I have noticed. Our LS's are quite seep happy. Yet some higher end cars even with high miles seem to seep less.
IMO it's the tolerances on how the parts are manufactured. . . . . Maybe. . . .

Pinion seal leaked had it replaced at dealership under warranty (2004).
Pinion seal again started leaking a couple years ago and has coated the rear bottom of my car. No big puddles. I can leave the car sit for 3 months and the puddle may be the size of a quarter. Car currently sits with 25,000 miles on the clock.
