Oil leak from diff?

[sethah]

Ok guys i have done sum searching but cant find anything. If i missed a thread then i am sorry. My differential is leaking where the driveshaft connects to the diff. Is this common? I assume the seal has went bad and was wondering how difficult this is to change. Also my car only has 29000 miles. Has not been to a track in a year. Just noticed the leak tonight. Any help would be appreciated.

probably the pinion seal, mine is leaking as well.

Thats what i thought it was. Was wondering also if my warranty would cover this

Don't know about common, but mine did the same a few years back. Rear seal.

Well i called dealership & they said it was covered under my warranty. Thanks for the input guys

Pinion Seal is a common issue. Could also be the Companion Flange. I have had to replace them over the years as they wear and don't meet the seal perfectly!

Yeah i figured it was common. Mine sits all winter so i imagine that has not helped any

I got my changed recently for about 100 with parts and an hour so of labor. I still need to go back and clean a couple spots.
