Not a drop on the 3.90's, The stock rear attacted dirt to a moist area around the seal but it never leaked.

Default My ' 04 leaked

My '04 leaked on drivers side of differential. Mine is auto. However other '04's in my car club also had leaks. Replaced seal under warranty. Dealer said this was a known problem. Maybe it's just the '04's.

00 with what I thought was a leak, turned out to be tranny damage. Rebuilt (under extended warranty) last month at 65k miles.
