Default Pinion seal question?

i was wondering if anyone knew what size the pinion nut is on the stock ls1 rear. also i am changing that seal because it is leaking and i was going to top it off with gear oil and i know i need to use the synthetic oil but was wondering if i needed to add the posi additive to the oil if i an only topping it off? also what size are the driveshaft bolts?

i wanted to know because i have to take my car to my buddies house and i have the tools but i cant bring my whole tool box with lol!

pinion nut is 1 1/4, driveshaft are 11mm...Just add gear oil back to it...better take a hose to get it in the housing..and a 3/8 ratchet and extension to get the plug out.
