on my 87 lx coupe, i have had gear oil work its way out through the threads of the pinion nut believe it or not. after a quick removal of the nut, spread some rtv on the threads, reinstall nut and torque to spec. good to go!

I think the guy who did my rear did a poopy job.

Are you sure the differential wasn't overfilled and the excess is comming out the top vent opening on the passenger side of the axel tube, then splashing onto the back of the muffler? Is the cap still on that axel tube vent?

It`s funny you mention that. I noticed it was wet around that vent yesterday. I need to jack the car up high and crawl all the way under and find the source.
