Help!!!!!!!!!!

So I Replaced the rear differential seal now for the second time.

I even went to so far as to buy Hylomar Universal Blue and put it on both sides of the seal before installing it back on.

I also waited a day before putting gear oil back into it.

What I did notice this time is that of all the bolts, one of them was slightly longer than the others, so I placed it dead nuts at the top of the differential where the brakes are attached as I figured those spacers would make up the difference.

I drove today and its still leaking roughly from the same location. I'll know more tonight once I jack it up, but I'm stumped.

Anyone have any words of wisdom that I'm missing here???

I'm thoroughly disgusted at the moment! This is not Rocket Science, and I know how to put a projectile in orbit!

Thanks in advance,

Matt
