Why pull it? You can remove the flange and pinion seal with the rear end in the car... It's tight on the 1980-1982 cars but very do-able. We never pull the entire rear to do this job but then again we have lifts, it would be harder laying on your back but it's still something you can do without removing the rear.

I would think it would be OK as long as the drip doesn't get worse. If the car is new to you though I would check the differential fluid level to make sure it is up. No telling how long it has been the way it is.
