Leaking rear dif
2 weeks ago I had the lodal shop replace one of the rear axle assemblies. I noticed tonight the the rear dif is leaking where the axle connects. Is ther an axle seal that should have been replaced when the shop instslled the axle?

As you get toward the end of the pictures in the first post of the following thread you will see two different seals, an o'ring that seals the cover to the diff and one that seals the axle shaft as it goes through the cover:

From your description ( without pictures) I cannot tell which, if either one or if something else, is the cause of your leakage. If the Diff was overfilled the vent on the top of the diff is also a know source of weepage.
