Rear diff leaking!
My rear diff is leaking right where the cat back is. Its a slow leak as in its not leaving a puddle on my floor, also I checked the smell it does not smell burnt. I was just wondering what It would be. Hopefully not anymore serious then a bad seal or gasket.
thanks for any help!

you dont need to take the cover off. You pry the stub axle (dont know what its called) off and just replace it from the side. You need to unhook some of the linkage to that wheel so you can pull the axle out too.

If it's the side seals, this might help-------> https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/replacing-rear-axle-side-seals-517073/
Seals weren't much and it's really not a tough repair. Good time to change diff fluid too if it's been a while.

^ I did a fix on this as well... it only leaked very little, but it would get on the exhaust ...if this is what it is, then it is a straight forward easy fix, just make sure you mark the drive shaft before you remove it...
