When i was done work the other day i noticed a puddle of oil under the rear axle so i inspected a bit there was still lots in the differential and i figured it was just the seal. So i head home and as im backing in the driveway i feel some resistance on the passenger side wheel and hear some noise so i immediately stop where it is and then tonight i got the opportunity to pull the cover off and inspect it, my pinion nut is definitely loose and there is some tooth damage to the carrier. I am wondering where to go from here
