yeah, it has to be done right. did you just do a gear swap or something?(if you did is there any noise?) if you just recently did a swap then i say you might have set up the pinion preload wrong or if its an old setup then the seal could be bad but you gotta make sure the preload is right when you swap the seal. get with someone who is very knowledgeable on gear swaps and rear ends before you tear into anything here imo

the fill plug is right around that area too....it's not coming from there correct?
But ya...if it IS the pinion seal....take it to a shop, you DO NOT want to mess with that...too many specialty tools required.
blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum
You could do it, count the threads exposed, mark the pinion and the nut with a dash on one side. But yes there still is a chance to F up the preload.
