Next week im getting my pinion seal replaced by a reputable mechanic. I have an 8 1/4. Last summer new gears and a limited slip were installed complete with new parts. Ever since then the rear end has been leaking. Not much though but enough to notice. It's not the cover however but up near the driveshaft. From what I understand it's the pinion seal. I have already purchased a timken seal. From what I have read on here it's a good possibility that the yoke has a groove in it causing it to leak. Is this a common problem? It never leaked before. Should I just go ahead and purchase a new yoke? Is this a part I can get at the local auto parts store or does it need to be ordered online?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
