So I was doing a random inspection of the stang yesterday and noticed the bottom of the diff housing was wet with lubricant. Its not a bad leak but after checking again this morning there seems to be some dripping. Anybody ever had this issue?

Because of this im really thinking of doing a gear swap now since im gonna have to get this looked at.

Suggestions on shops for the install or what to do next.....

Thanks guys.

Ed, I actually purchased some rims from Bob T a while back. I remember driving up there and he had that cool garage in the back

Got the 3.73 installed over the weekend. Mike (mjr46) had some time Saturday so I took it up and he did the install. It was a fun and educational process, kinda glad he got me involved in the install. Think I still smell like gear oil lol . Haven't had a chance to really test the car out but so far it feels great. Thanks for pointing me his way. Awesome guy and mechanic!

Turns out that I must have hit or ran something over, the Diff cover was bent, which caused the leak.
