Hey guys, ive noticed recently my rear end is leakin in my street. i looked under there and the whole bottom of the rear end is sludged up and also the front(?) of the rear where the driveshaft connects seems to be the place its comin from. im on a super budget and hate it leaking in front of my house. how would i got about diagnosing it. was thinking of tryin to degrease the diff and seein exactly where its coming from. whats the most common area for these things to leak? thanks guys.

yup sounds like the pinion seal, easy fix. I did it on my iroc, think the seal was about $7.00(dealership price).
