If you aren't a Corvette purist, you could drill/tap/plug the bottom of the housing with a 3/8" pipe tap in order to flush out all the bad stuff....then fill it with fresh oil.

Seal between the front main housing and part that the springs bolt to. Already pulled apart, inspected and replaced. I think I got pretty lucky. Gears didn't seem shredded and there wasn't really anything solid in the bottom. Cheeks will be puckered tomorrow on the way to work.

That'd be a quick way to create a giant frag grenade. Haha.
It must have busted loose right as I was coming off the highway. I thought I smelled something funny as I exited.
