My pinion seal developed a leak (I think it was at around 120,000 miles). I replaced it and hasn't leaked since.

Hopefully fixed, reused the gasket with some RTV silicone.

From the socket marks I can see on the bolts, someone had the cover off in the past.

Yep, socket scarring is a dead give away.

Never opened, the marks are from me trying to torque to spec just in case before i took it apart.

Still shows someone other than the factory, was on those bolts...

Leaking, also, can come from the vent if over-filled, hard cornering, and hard
acceleration. People do hook up catch cans to their diff vents to prevent
loss under those conditions.
