OMP and Drive haft/diff ?

ok i installed new OMP lines.. while i was watching them fill the oil kind of crept up them.. was it supposed to be a quick thing? because it took about 2 min or so.. and i heard noise from the rear end. when i shift . grabbed the drive shaft and spun it back and forth and got a clunk clunk sound probally turned 1/4-1/2'' both ways...

The slowness of the oil through the MOP lines is normal, there isn't much injected into the engine. Check the u-joints in the driveshaft for wear/looseness, other wise the ring/pinion/spider gears are badly worn.
