I've done nothing else with the diff (no sanding, no special shimming, etc.) and its super smooth and now leak free.
The orings don't fit well on mine, there is a lot of free play.

It appears to be a common problem with remedies such as green slime, diff grease or using CA to glue/seal the outer edge of the orings to the case.
