could it be a rear pinion seal?
hey guys, a few weeks ago, i got my tailhousing seal and rear pinion seal replaced. then i had some 3.73 gears installed by one of the sponsors. i happend to check underneath for any leaks and seen a small puddle forming. it looks like its dripping from the torque arm.. but im wondering if it still might be a pinion seal? nothing is dripping undeerneath the 10bolt, its a little more forward around the torque arm area? any suggestions?

If the pinion seal is leaking it has a tendency to 'ooze' all over the front of the rear end, and down the torque arm...you will often see fluid drips hanging from the bottom of the two torque arm bolts depending on the severity of the leaks. The fluid is clear/yellowish.
I would let the vendor know about it and have them take a second look. Often a seal will leak if the seal was not seated squarely or the driveshaft/pinion yoke is scored and was not sanded down, and is ripping the rubber part of the seal.
