ouch! must get this fix before the track day.
Looks like oil from tranny. Oil seal from driveshaft? is it hard to
replace? exhaust has to come out?

Do I need a special tool to press theseal back in? any tips to install the
seal is greatly appreciated

system, rear differential flange
New seal, and all back together.

Well 2 hrs later, the seal is in place. Talking about work. I should have
bought the rear diff seal too. I was not thinking. Anyway, catalytic and
rear muffler has to come out, rear diff. flange also has to come out.
now it is perfert.
Only I can get my fuel sender unit part soon so I can replace it too.

thanks
Steve
