were the axles seal worn and did you knock the new seals right into where the old ones sat?

With the exhaust, go visit the local exhaust shop and get a 2 1/2" straight through system put on.

Use two resonators, one large offset one where the original muffler sits in front of the diff and another smaller one behind it somewhere.

No mattter what you do, it ain't ever gonna sound like a V8 tho.

GQs have an "O" ring arround the axle flange which gets tired and stretches.
Is the oil coming from the bolt flange or from the axle itself.

also if the seal running surface is scored it will need repairing with a speedisleeve or similar.
