clunking noises(ive searched)

ok so i have searched but i have to go to work and dont have the time to look through any more posts.

every time i turn left whether its under load or not there is a clunking noise from my rearend... i cant exactly pin point which side of the car its from. i was told it was the drive axle and to jack it up and try to wiggle them but they are both solid.
what could it be

drive shaft?
diff mounts?

what the hell could it be?
someone help!!!

The more you drive it with a bad coolant seal, the less likely you will be able to rebuild your engine without buying new housings and/or irons. Just FYI. Might want to baby it (ie. not run it) until you have money for a rebuild.
