Rear diff. leaking

[mainerdsm]

OK so My rear diff leaks and i found the problem it looks to be a axle seal on the driver's side. Well my problem is The previous owner know's nothing absolutely nothing about car's. And he drove it leak and just filled the rear diff up when the gear's started to skip. That was his indicactor that the rear diff needed to be filled back up with more gear oil. So my question is, When the car's sitting still and i move it slowly (has no gear oil in the rear diff but im not driving it) the rear end gear's skipping a tooth or something i know this is stupid but i dont have my license right now so i cant drive it. But when i fix the rear end and its full off gear lube wouldnt that make the rear end do what its doing worse? Like the gear's skip worse? Please help i dont want to have to go in search of a new rear end.

i dont get it? if you fix the rear end and you fill it properly with lube how is it going to be worse? wouldnt that defeat the purpose?

is it just me or what you are asking makes no sense?

I think what he thought was that the fluid for the diff would make it slip, but in fact thats what makes it grab.

Wasnt there a recall on the rear end on the 95, take it in and get it fixed by mitsubishi, lifetime warranty, I might be wrong though

Pretty sure that was the transfer case.
If it's a V-LSD the fluid is what makes it work.
