I had the same noise on my car. Rear drum set-up, not disc. When I took the passenger side drum off it was full of fluid, unfortunately it wasn't brake fluid, it was rear end dope (gear oil). Apparently the seal had blown and I drove the rear end dry... SMOKED IT!!!! ouch.
I ended up finding a donor car with a LSD rear end with disc brakes. Did the swap. Swap is very easy. If you swap to rear disc you need the master cylinder too.
hope this helps

MadDuck, I have the EXACT same issue right now, and hope to have the same solution as soon as i find a GSL rear end. However, my question is did yours eventually "fail" if so, what happened?.. I have been riding around for 3 months with a new seal and no new leak but, clunk, clunk, clunk from the rear end.
tnx

I had that same kinda noise from my 85 gsl-se. Jack up the car take the tire off and see if the calipers are loose enough to move back and fourth (with no ebrake on of course) that is what is causing your noise. I got rid of the noise by adjusting the ebrake at the axle. Got mine just right no clackity clack and not too tight that the brake rubbs.

It's okay. I started the break in process on the new bridgeported motor running it on jack stands.
