What did I miss?

[gearhead77]

So I installed a new pinion seal and bolts, torqued to required torque. Now, rear end oil is seeping out from around the lower flange bolt(s) of the rear end when the car sits. Did I miss something when I re-did the pinion seal? There's no vibration or anything else. Did I overfill the rear end topping it off? I read that if there was overfill, it would likely come out of the vent though. Car is stock and mostly original 89 GT vert, 72k miles. Thanks.

So when you say lower flange bolts, do you mean diff cover?? If so I just use black silicone (there a pic of a diff on the box lol) or get a new gasket every time. But if it's coming from the pinion seal you simply messed up installing it. It's easy to do. And just got to get another one and reinstall it.

Please post an image pointing to your leak. I'm a bit confused about the maintenance you mentioned and the source of your leak.
