Bart,
I think his leak is at the diff cover, not the axle seals. His is a 30 min repair, yours is 7 hours (minimum).

Now I am a little lost of what you all may think my issue is. I will take a picture today/night and post it!

Well, no offense to Tom, but from the way you worded it, you have the seal leak like everyone else. But maybe Tom is right, I dunno. I just never heard of the diff covers leaking on our VXes. But several people have the seal leak. Basically, its where the axle housing is connected to a flange on either side. There is a seal that seeps in there. Both sides on my VX are all wet, but only one side drips.
EDIT: I just went back and re-read your original post. Maybe Tom is right. When you said "the gasket between the two sides" my brain immediately thought of the seals on the axle flanges. So Tom is more likely to be correct here. (Sorry, Tom!)

"So Tom is more likely to be correct here. (Sorry, Tom!)"
No worry. I put it on the calendar so no one would ever forget that Tom was RIGHT, Bart was WRONG! It was bound to happen sooner or later.
You were right in that I don't recall anyone here ever mentioning that their diff cover was leaking. Several have noted that their axle seals leak though.
We'll just have to wait for the pix.

Hey man, don't give me that much credit! I'm probably wrong more than I am right!

Hmmm, not that I can think of off hand....
