Its Red RTV no gasket, just redo it. But are you sure its leaking from there and not from a bad axle seal? Did you recently pull out the axles?

Thanks for the reply! Yes, you are correct it is the axle seals. They are DSS 600hp axles. Do you have any advice? On a side note I was able to find a high temp diff gasket online and I’ll give it a try.

Possibly nicked the seal on install, or the garter spring popped off. Either way new seals should do the trick, just make sure to grease the axle tip and the seal when installing to make sure it doesn't get damages.

No need for gaskets. You need to replace the seals.

Confirm that your DSS axles do in fact require the stock seals and not something else.
