Rear Differential seal??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Quick Question:

My rear differential appears to be leaking at the front seal (not constant, but does cause a spray effect under the bed area). I went to the parts store to buy a simple seal, however the two seals he had did not seem to match the seal I have on my 12 bolt rear. Any suggestions? Any part numbers would be great. I have posted about a 'tink tink' noise I have that sounds like it comes from the driveshaft. Could the loose rear seal be causing this noise? Is it holding something in? I know nothing about the innards of rear ends. Thanks in advance for all of your help. I'm getting ready to put a gas tank under the bed and restain the wood floor and might as well do this while I'm at it.
