What you want is the RIGHT STUFF from Permatex.
Follow the simple directions and you'll have a leak free (from the mating surfaces) rear. If only the three oil seals were so easy.

So the RIGHT STUFF from Permatex, is the best eh?
Did you guys use the air compressor hose and the oil bottle technique to fill the oil, or is it actually possible to powr a bottle under there?

I had a problem with sealing when I had synthetic gear oil -- and the sealing was done correctly, but not with the RIGHT STUFF.
Since I took it apart and resealed it, I no longer use synthetic gear oil and I havn't had any problems.

Invest in $10 fluid pump from the parts store. You can even use it to pump fluid out of the diff if you're creative. It threads onto the quart bottles.

Yeah the Right Stuff is worth every penny.Its more expensive than tradtional RTV and sealers but I have yet to see one that is better than this.
Its also great to use for your intake manifold as well.
