Noticed 2 very dark (jet black) drops on my floor. Looked under the car and at first thought it was coming from the diff cover. But it looks like it is coming from the pinion seal and running down and dripping at the bottom of the diff.
In the second pic you can see oil above the area...guessing it's just from the air while driving blowing it up there??
Would you say this is a pinion seal leak? If so, what is all needed to repair? I'm 99.9% sure I will be paying someone to do this.
Is this $29 pinion flange from AM what needs replacing? Anything else I need? I'm thinking I may have my diff fluid changed while I'm at it.
My rear end makes a noise, sounds like tire noise but much louder. Instantly goes away when I am in neutral. Could this sound be because of the pinion leak? Or gears?
I tried adding fluid to the diff today but cheese and FN crackers what a pain in the ass...I wasn't able to turn the fill nut to remove it. Had trouble getting something in there and when I did, I had no room to turn it.
