I bought a new Diff cover and bolts, and gear oil and re-assembled. The car runs great now, except now I noticed transmission fluid leaking around the rear seal of the transmission. I'm not sure if the previous problem caused this............. Dang!!!!
How hard is this seal to change out ? Anyboby got suggestions?

Easy to fix. Pull the driveshaft and yank the trans end seal out. Install new seal, reinstall driveshaft and go to it.
