Hello Chris,
     There is that gasket/seal right behind the driveshaft mount that
usually leaks and it's VERY easy to replace!!   I've done 4 of them now
on  my various cars... just take care that you don't scratch up the area
where the new seal goes.   Also, you might want to check out the main
differential gasket (where the differential bolts on to the diff
housing) and then the axle seals...  if they are leaking, you have the
perfect opportunity to get that diff checked out while you have the rear
end apart!   Best of luck on your project!
