my rear differential is wet. what do i need to do to fix this and what should i use? i have'nt changed the fluid either so what will i need to do that? i heard that prmatex won't seal it right either, so what should i get? thanks.
 






I noticed mine leaking around the yoke. I believe mine needs a new seal. There are only two places for it to leak. The yoke or the cover. The cover is relatively easy to fix, you replace the gasket when you change the oil. You should at least check the oil level. It is realy easy. You need a 3/8" socket drive to pull the fill plug. The oil should be at the top of the hole. While it is open you can top it off. Depending on how much oil is required to fill it will tell you how bad you leak is.
