I was actually checking it out and the pinion yoke has a 1/4" gap between the lip and the seal surface. I know it's not suppose to touch the seal but shouldn't it be closer?
I have limited space under the car with only jackstands. I am probably gonna find a shop with a lift. I might have to pay for this one. I am doing a complete brake job. There was crazy gunk in the rear brake system and I don't know where it was coming from wheel cylinders or axle seals. I completetly degreased and changed wheel cylinders. I am going to road test it and see if I still have leaks possibly from axle seals. If it continues to leak I have to open the rear and completely go through it.
PS-the funky painted parts were on the car when I got it.
