C5 diff leaks is this common
I can't tell if it is the cover or axle seals but I think I should give the car to someone who knows what they are doing. I replaced ten ounces of gear oil to full. Anyone have any info thanks

The axle seals aren't that hard to replace yourself and not very expensive. I think I paid about $30 each at the local dealer but I'm sure Gene could hook you up if you aren't in a hurry.
Remove sway bar endlinks.
Remove the upper control arm bolts.
Remove upper shock mount bolts.
This will allow you to remove the axles from the rear diff and replace the seals. I bought a seal puller from Harbor Freight for < $10.
