I from between front carrier and banjo housing a much bigger job. At this location I would tighten the bolts and live with a little seepage. Fill with #90 or 85w-140 gear oil. If you remove the filler plug on the rear cover and find it is overfull the teansmission fluid is leaking past the seal inside the torque tube. A bigger problem. Gene Schneider
