Hello listers,  I've recently developed a gear oil leak in the very front of
the differential housing -- as best as I can tell, right near where the
driveshaft connects.  The oil is dripping off that mounting flange thing...

Do I need to remove the differential and take it apart to replace a seal
there?  Just try tightening up the bolts a skosh?  Any suggestions?  Not a
serious leak, but something I need to tend to at some point.

Best wishes,

Jeff in San Diego
