Are the bolts tight and not sealing or are the bolts not tightening up? Is it just leaking around the bolts? or are the housing bells leaking.
It its just the bolts not sealing but being tight you can take string and goob it up with
avation #2 or #3 liquid wind the string around the bolt and tighten them up again. If the bells are leaking, bigger problem as the gaskets are shims as well as being gaskets.
If you separate the bells you might or probably will destroy the gaskets.
You may have to pull the rear end and do it right.
Maybe the guru of rear ends, Tom Endy will chime in here.
