Even new seals aren't very good in my opinion. After replacing the seals
(and brakes) be careful not to overfill the differential with oil. I run the
oil level about one finger joint below the top for this very reason. I also
avoid parking with one side of the car significantly lower than the other in
order to minimize the oil flowing up against the seals.
