Default Hahaha I screwed up my rear end....

So, I went camping with my Camaro, had a bunch of friends in the back and all the gear for camping. Previous I installed a rear anti-sway bar in the rear (the v6 comes stock without one...wtf). So with all the weight of the guys in the back, the sway bar must have pushed in the differential cover so bad to where the gear ground through the cover... leaked all the fluid out, I ran it empty for a little bit till I heard noises then discovered the problem. So now the stupid thing is leaking where the drive shaft goes into the differential. What shall I do? Is it just a seal gone bad because of no lube, or did I totally trash it?

WOW, I can't picture a swap bar doing that. You must have had that dragging the ground. Was it a factory type sway bar?
What did the gears look like? Maybe you can just replace the seal and hope for the best. There is a bushing in there so when you get to doing itsee if you can move the pinion
