if you know what you are doing.... where is it leaking from? the diff seal is going to require dropping the diff...and shouldnt be attempted by a regular handyman if you dont know what you are doing.....

I just did this yesterday, the seals for both sides cost about $20 a pair from napa w/ a discount. It wasnt bad to drop everything to pull the diff out. Took me about 1/2 a day to get it out with 2 people. I would not recommend doing it unless you have a big tool collection because it took alot.
