In this video, I track down a stubborn rear differential leak on my 1972 Buick Skylark. I had replaced the pinion seal, but still had a small puddle of oil on the garage floor every morning. Turns out the pinion seal was totally dry, but the oil leak was coming from the splines behind the crush sleeve or pinion washer. I’ll show you how I fixed it for good.
