what's it leaking?
your car shouldn't leak.

Maybe the seal on the diff cover is going? Do you have a stock rearend or did you put gears or a new cover on? I'd wipe it all clean and wait a day or so and then run my finger around the crack and see if it is leaking from there, if so I'd just take the cover off and put new gear oil in anyways... maybe check your gear fill hole...

^ wow.. I just woke up and posted...
didn't even see that he wrote diff.

basically do what Garhfer said.

if it's leaking your going to need a new seal.. it's no big deal. but it can become one if you leak too much fluid

Yea the rear end is all stock, I was thinking about getting some gears but never got around to it ... and it only starte leaking recently from what i can see so maybe the drag radials i just tried out the other week was enough to kill the gasket dunno oh well i will have to crack it open and make some messes in the garage
