Name that differential seal.

[Morania]

My rear differential is leaking from the front seal. I can find lots of places to get the seal for pretty cheap but what should I call it while I'm ordering it. It's the seal that heads to the drives shaft.

I believe it's called the pinion seal.

Get yourself a FSM and read the procedure first, you must retorque the pinion nut back to the current torque value to get the preload right.
