Leaky differential? Which side?

Had to ask...I've seen a lot of posts where we've had our differential leak, but it seems to me that most have been drivers' side, like mine.

Of course lets check that assumption out scientifically...

One of the reasons I'm curious is because I'm taking mine in for just that, leaky driver side, and I was wondering if I should have them do the other side just because. If nobody (or very few) had a passenger side go on them, I won't worry about it...

My 99 coupe had the leak on the drivers side at 9,000 miles. So far, at 7,200 miles, my 04 is not leaking.

It always is the drivers side which leaks but some have reported their tranny leaking as well. My diff cover has been repaired twice and is still leaking. I think I'll just watch it for a while, tired of dealerships.
