Replace cover....do not over tighten these bolts, you can bend the flange, and it wont seal right afterward. About 22lbs of torque IIRC.

90 wt. oil about right. Look around the top portion of differential hub for a removable plug. This is where you fill it from. Fill until it just starts to run out of the same hole. Replace plug. Done. (about 2qts, maybe more for 14 bolt)

Course, depending on rear wheel seals, and pinion seal, you may have leakage. If you have oily, tacky wetness in your rear brake backing plate and such, your rear seals are leaking (pull the drum and look at the whole brake assembly). Comes from the same 90wt. that is lubing the rear end. It lubes the rear wheel bearings as well.

Best of luck, and keep ius posted! That is a Legacy truck you have there! I'm sure your GrandDad is smiling down on you for saving that rig! Congrats!

Haha thanks man, and I appreciate the kind words. I'll put more pics up soon, and that's a sharp truck you've got
