i notice diffrential fluid in rear end!! HELP!!!!

I was under my car taking my exhaust off and notice the right side of the diffrential has a whole lot of fluid all over. i checked all my boots and there are no rips in them. I try tighting the bolts in the rear of the diffrential and they all seem to be real tight.

WHAT COULD IT BE!!!!??????!!!!!??? my friend was behind me while i was driving my car and he said that he notice my right rear wheel seems to be whoppoling a bit, something like the wheel is not tighten. I try tighting the lug nuts and they are all real tight.

it happened after i had a local shop install the lowering springs for me. any help would be great.

Clean it real good, go drive it, and see where you have leaks. There are plenty of places you could be leaking, I have no idea which it is.

Steve,

More than likely, it is coming from where the shaft goes into the diff. There is a seal in there that needs to be replaced. Check the shop manual.
