HELP rear end leak
i had posted about my broken drive shaft last week or the week before, i replaced my two peice with a one peice but now i have rear end oil/ gear grease/ which ever you call it leaking and leaking badly. i think the old drive shave bent the shaft going into the rear end because its a gap now. is there a cheap way to fix this or at least slow it down (i filled up my rear last sunday and its empty again) im 100% lost on this issue
if not what do i do?

x2, if you can get both rear wheels off the ground, unbolt the driveshaft and try to turn the pinion by hand (with the park brake off). If it does not turn smooth you have a problem in the rearend.

Hopefully you made some reference point mark with the pinion nut before you removed it, so you can get it back exactly where it was. Otherwise you're looking at a possible premature ring & pinion gear failure down the road.
