After all those replies,no one has mentioned that the pinion nut could be loosening by itself,or the pinion bearings are failing,both of which cause radial play at the yoke,which in 40 years of doing rears,happens to be the #1 cause of seal leakage.If you can move the pinion yoke up & down even a little,a new seal alone is not going to fix your issue.If you have ZERO movement up & down at the yoke,then what the other guys have suggested will serve you just fine
