Alright cool, noted. If we diagnosed correctly, the only two things leaking now are the rear pinion, and the oil pan gasket.

Brakes question:
As I posted before, one(?) of my brakes squeaks with each revolution of the wheel. It's very high-pitched, and it stops if I apply the brakes, even lightly. Am I looking at the discs or the drums, and what exactly am I looking for? Trying to google the issue has given me trillions of results about a thousand different 'types' of squeak.

I was told (I think by dukie), that it was likely an indicator. Sounds like the left rear, but it's hard to tell. Wasn't sure if disc and drum would both squeak, or if it was likely to be a certain type of brake. Assuming it is the left rear, what should I look for?

Don't let it go too long, if it is an indicator rubbing you DO NOT want it to cut into the drum/rotor.

Definitely the front left, at least. I had it up on the jack and could hear it nice and loud when rotating the tire, but the lone 20mm lug nut won't come off. I'm gonna run up to Advance and see if my guy's workin to take care of it.
