Default need advice

my 98 corvette is leaking differential fluid and i took it in to the dealer and they replaced the left axle seal @$300+. when i got home fluid was pouring to i carried it back and now they say i need the complete diff cover (part # 12958145)@ another $550, the bearing in the cover is allowing the fluid to pour out and i am wondering if they should have been able to tell me this the day before when they installed the first seal?
thank you for any help in this matter,
david

I think I'd take it somewhere else and get a second opinion.
