Diff leak question
I've got a very slow differential leak that only resulted in a few drops of fluid on my garage floor this past summer. The Diff area is "wet" but obviously not leaking significantly. The Vette is in winter storage right now--but thinking ahead, I need some opinions and what to do come summer.
Fix it for $1000+ bucks or just leave it and have the level checked periodically??

That's high for the repair IMO, so check with other repair shops. I'd get the leak fixed - it will not get any better.

Heard it before...
Sounds like they will have to drop the rearend to fix the leak. Thus the high cost.
Does someone know a way to fix the seal or gasket without removing the rear diff which includes the transmission and tq tube...which requires the whole rear of the car to come out?? If so I sure would like to know how.
