On this subject, I have a strong rear diff that has a nice leak in it too. I have isolated the leak to the seal. I replaced the seal and still have the leak. Looks like sometime in the past the diff suffered a nasty crunch down on a rock or something and the mating surface of the diff carrier and the diff case is buggered slightly. Is there a product like "liquid metal" or something that can be applied to the joint (without changing the seal again) that can patch this tiny but 90w-draining leak until I can get a rebuild or Salisbury?

I went to install the used diff that is to replace the one I broke last
week. The new housing does not have holes for the alignment dowels that
align the diff carrier to the axle housing. I'm not sure that are
needed, so can I just pull them out and install the new ( to me) diff?
Thanks for the idea of using the bottom of a refrigerant bottle to
replace the back cover. Caused quite a stir in the shop on Friday.
Seems some though that the dimples on the bottom that form feet looked
like teats on a cow udder. Now I think I might paint them pink just to
enhance the illusion.
