I accidently broke loose some of the case bolts on the underside during the tear down and I'm thinking I broke that seal and now it isn't seated properly. Don't see any fluid around the new axle seals.
I wanna reject this message. got ahead of myself I'm actually loosing fluid from the right side axle (passenger) I finally got it off the ground to really explore the underside. sure as $#!t it's coming from there, I must have pinched it or not seated it right, luckily i just had everything apart so replacing that seal will be a breeze. oh!! and most importantly I wanna thank you for the post I couldn't have done it without this DIY guide. It was quite the task, but it was a great time, and a great learning experience.
edit: and holy crap am I sore. I definitely recommend a sober friend/relative to help. My cousin hit my case of beer i brought over for letting me use his garage pretty hard and ended up pretty much being moral support besides mating up the tranny to the motor the next morning half hungover haha. Thanks again westcoast!
