okay i'll help as best as i can.
the axel seals are located in the flanges that pull out of the diff case. to get at them you first have to remove the half-shafts & cv joints. once they are out of the way you'll notice a 19mm nut inside the output flange. unbolt this from the output shaft and slide out, using a pick remove the old seal. now for the flange it is held in by a bolt and a tab located washer. the bolt will need an application of silcone to seal against oil leaking past the threads. i used a high temp silcone however i now have a leak again so eithier i didn't cover it right or the blasted red-line is far to thin to be using in the tranny. t-rutlands has an updated double lip viton seal that should work better than the original.
i'll be re-doing the cv joints so i'll re-address the axel seal and take pics for future refference.

so far this is my biggest gripe with the car, i can take a leak that might need topping off. but smoking tranny fluid is bad.
