the only way to cure the leak between the diff/final drive is to replace the 
seal between the two halfs of the tranny.   if you dont do this, your tranny 
WILL fail.
i removed and replaced all the seals in my '86 5kT auto tranny as a 
preventive maintenance thing, just like doing the timing belt/water 
pump/tensioner pulley.
