I'll have to keep an eye on it and see if the trans fluid again winds up in the differential.

Does the fix for these seals in question require removal and disassembly of the tranny, or just pulling the diff?
The most common "Jiffy Lube" problem is, that they'll drain the front diff and overfill the crank case. However, one member (who shall remain nameless) once filled his tranny with motor oil.

The confusion over fluids, is somewhat understandable, but folks should always double-check WHAT they're putting in WHERE. It's like when I went for a tranny flush, I kindly let the tech know, "I know you probably already know this, but, some people don't. The tranny drain plug is the one on the Driver's side." He just nodded. If you don't act like you're telling them something they already know, then, they're much more apt to accept your instructions. "When I rotate my tires, I never torque my wheel nuts over the factory recommended 65 foot pounds. Do you think that's a good idea?" That's how I let the tech know that I'm anal about my wheel nut torque and give him the correct setting for his wrench.
