Help Rearend leak!

Has anyone swapped out the rearend gears and then have problems with it leaking? I took the car back to the dealer once for a leak and it is leaking again. Any tips out there?

Either they didn't seal the axle girdle with silicone or a gasket,
or
the girdle's bolts aren't tightened enough

is it leaking from the diff cover/girdle, or is it leaking from the sides?

I over filled my differential when I installed my FRPP girdle. I put in 3 quarts. And it leaked from the little vent valve that's on the top of the passenger side axle tube. I had to drain some fluid out to get it to stop.
