My understanding is that Ford did not originally use a gasket between the banjo flange and the torque tube flange. They are available now and they will prevent an oil drip at this location. Some amount of oil can find its way through the pinion bearings into the area where the banjo and the torque tube connect. The gasket should be positioned so that the notch is at the bottom so that the oil can drain back. I install one on every rear axle assembly rebuild I do.
