Hello @winsanity and welcome to posting to the forum .......

Too bad your first post had to be bad news......

Since you bought the car used and any warranty work has been declined by the dealer and the manufacturer, I'm ah feared you are on your own.

I would suggest that you take it to a reputable auto shop and have the differential opened up and examined.

(oh, BTW, does it have any fluid left in it .. ??)

The redneck solution would be to clean all the grease/oil off the differential and surrounding area, tighten all the bolts/nuts around the casing, fill it with fluid, drive it for a while then check for leaks.

If it still leaks or still makes noise, you are most likely looking at buying a new differential (worst case).

I hope you get it fixed. Keep us posted.
