If it's a later diff with the collapsible spacer pinion preload adjustment, be sure not to tighten it up any more than it was or it will screw up the pinion preload.
Also make sure the vent hole is clear.

: Hi All.
: It seems my GT6 differential has
: sprung a leak. After all of last summer
: with everything high and dry, right
: away this spring I have gear lube in
: puddles under the car. After pulling
: off the driveshaft and checking the
: source of leak it appears that the seal
: and seal surface on the input flange
: are fine but somehow gear lube is
: getting to the front of the dif. by
: going between the splines of the pinion
: shaft and the splines of the flange
: and under the nut and washer at the
: front of the flange and getting flung
: around everywhere. Quite a lot of lube
: came out when I separated the
: driveshaft from the dif. flange. I've
: not seen this happen before. Are you
: guys familiar with this problem?
: P.J.
