I did put a speedi-sleeve on it - good tight fit, with some permatex =
under it to make sure that didn't leak - as the surface had some wear =
marks.  I marked everything and re-assembled as it was to maintain the =
same pre-load; the diff was removed from the car so this was not =
difficult to do, and there was no wobble - i.e., the preload setting was =
good.  I'll check to see if it was migrating from the nut - interesting =
possibility, though I'm pretty sure from the visuals that it is at the =
seal.
Using Redline gear oil, 85 weight.

Guess what?  It's leaking more than ever. =20

Any thoughts on a better fix?
