Rear Diff leaking
Well I had my car on the lift today and noticed the cover is leaking, passenger side axle seal, and the seal on the rear of the diff towards the driveshaft. So what all seals and/or parts should I replace when I take it out besides the seals mentioned above.

Re: Rear Diff leaking
That is every possible place for it to leak from! Who has been inside your diff? I have never, ever seen a subaru leak from the input seal. Hopefully you just have to remove the flange to replace it, just don't forget to re stake the nut. Keep an eye on this and repair as soon as possible as the unit only holds .4 qt and loss of half of that amount will cause it to be destroyed.

Re: Rear Diff leaking
The input seal leaks as I noticed oil flung around the U joint on the heat shield above it. The axle seal isn't dripping but wet, and the rear diff is seeping but not enough to drip on the ground. Is it pretty easy to remove the diff? I want to remove it myself and take it to work and have the Subie tech look at it to help me with the seals.
