Josh you should be able to tell when you unbolt the flange. If it's wet inside, it's most likely just getting by the splines. This condition is so common that BL put out a tech service bulletin on it because they were getting so many warranty claims on this.
Obviously if it's dry, the seal and/or journal is at fault.

: yes you can drop the shaft & pull

: Oil can also migrate along the splines
