Could be the differential seal on the side or it could be the seal between the tranny and the differential (I've had both things happen to mine). Pretty common on the differential leak.

differential fluid. mine is leaking as well, although it sometimes goes a month or more without seeing any drops on the garage floor. as is stated above, the leak could be the side cover (relatively easy fix) or seal between tranny and diff, which is more cumbersome. have someone, preferably not a dealer check it out. the dealers love to screw people on problems like this

So after the repair has been completed, what prevents it from
happening again? Have the repair materials been improved? I am
now experiencing the same problem and was wondering where to
get it repaired.

If it does end up being your ouput shaft seal, these instuctions are pretty easy to follow:

Only took me about 3 hours to do the job, and those instuctions above are easier than what the service manual suggests.
