I noticed you have 4.10's. Was the pinion nut replaced at install? If not its common the fluid will leak out of the splines and come through the pinion flange. There is a rubber coating on the pinion nut that seals it. This gets worn off after being installed.

I am not sure if it was replaced or not, it just started leaking about 2 weeks before I took it off road for the winter. I have been underneath many times and over 5k miles since the gear install. I am very fluid cautious because of this car and it's status it may acquire some day
I will not take back to the shop that did the gears because axles leaked after the gear install...I would rather pay to get everything done over and right

What was replaced? Just the gears, or all bearings, seals and axles too? Your assessment of the shop may be accurate, but if you had axle leaks on original axles/bearings/seals with huge miles on them . . .

The gears and the recommended install kit which included the seals and bearings...purchased from Sparta
