Leak in rear axle??

[CHOO CHOO]

So I noticed a few dark spots on the ground where I was parked when I got home and they seemed fresh. I looked under the tahoe and found this:

How bad is this? I know it has something to do with gears right? I could actually watch it slowly drip, about a drop per minute.

Ok so dropped it off at the mechanic and he fixed it no charge. He said that it must have been because of the temp change or maybe the sealant was thin at the bottom. Cleaned, resealed, and replaced oil so i should be good to go.

easy fix

diff cover gasket is bad. possibly someone used a jack to raise it and damaged the gasket, possibly even the cover. 30 mins fix on gasket change. 10 dollar gasket at advance. you have a nice mechanic!

yeah, he's pretty cool about stuff. Doesn't mind doing quick fixes for free, of course I gotta tip him, don't wanna be an ass. Plus I always recommend him and have gotten a friend or two to switch to him so he's happy.

Yea I'd put a new seal in. Badass mechanic tho

Nice I wish I had a mechanic like that for the stuff I don't wanna get involved with.
We'll see if it holds up then.
