Went to leave work yesterday & found rear end oil all over the tire/rim...looks like (ok, the drip IS) coming from the little hole at the bottom of the drive, with a nice stain around the actual unit itself. My guess is an inner oil seal let go (damn, but that 90W stuff stinks!).
Rather than mess with seals, I found a good used 83 unit (thanks again, Andy) & am just going to swap it out...anything else I should look at/do when I change out the drive? Straightwings already correctly reminded me to grease up the splines...
Thanks...Dave
