Just what the title says. Got my axle finally and everything bolted on. I've got a small leak from around the bottom of where the pinion carrier bolts to the housing. I ran a small bead of rtv between the housing and shim. But now I'm wondering if I was screwed up the pinion depth. Thoughts?

Mine weeps a little too but I dont think you're supposed to use any kind of sealants on it, just assembled good and dry.
