Just glad I pulled the cover and discovered this before I started driving it. If the fluid that came out of the axle tube didn't look so nasty I probably would have just made sure the level was fine and drove it.
Plus it has that cheesy Spectre chrome diff cover on it and I couldn't stand the sight of it!
