Again, after i rebuilt the diffs, i haven't had much time to do much more with the car, and now i've come back again, and they are very slowly slowly leaking again...not enough to form an actual drop of oil, but you can see that it's wet around the join area on the front diff, and a little around the screw on the rear diff.

Is this normal, or should there be no leaking AT ALL??
The rubber orings are usually only good for one diff and cannot be re-used.

Most use a gasket sealant of some sort with the orings to prevent leakage.
