I have an oil leak, looks like the end of the drive shaft,

What is it, a seal or worse ?

Which end?

Front = tranny tail shaft seal

Rear = pinion seal

If you do it be sure to mark the pinion nut so you may return it to the same position without OVER TIGHTENING it and further crushing the "Crush Sleave"......don't ask me how I know!!:(

It's actually and easy job but letting someone do it who does it regularly may be your best bet!!:beer:
