My car is lowered with the Eibach Pro-kit. I've never adjusted the pinion angle as I don't have an adjustable UCA. (I do have adjustable lowers though)
I did a search and didn't see anything about this specifically, so my question is, can having the wrong pinion angle cause the pinion seal to develop a leak?
I'm asking because I got this rear end not that long ago, had a pinion leak, had it fixed, and now it's leaking again.

I know when. I was lowering mine, it leaked while the rear was hanging. When I loaded the rear to install the panhard bar it stopped. A couple of other guys noticed the same thing.
I am out of town again, but will check it again when I get in. If it is still, leaking I will be getting a UCA sooner rather than later!
