leaks are generally just poor positioning and or over tightening.
some covers hold the gasket in place better than others.

how far in should the pot joints be on the drive shaft from the diff. mine seam to have a couple of inches or more of the inner part of the pot joint showing outside of the diff oil seal. Should these be shoved in deeper? I'm trying to trace a decent size oil leak under the car and the seals around the pot joints look oily. there doesn't seem to be a clip or anything on the end of the pot joint. There is one that attaches the pot joint to the drive shaft but nothing it would seem that holds the pot joint to the splines in the diff????

there is a C clip on the out put shaft that engages in the pot joint as can be seen here

and the pot joint should be close to the cover. circa 1/4"

yup as I thought mine are definately wrong they are not fully in. will they click as I push them in and the circlip engages?
They can click but depends on how easy they slide in. it might not be going in easily due to them being at the wrong angle or the diff cover bushes being to small for the pot joints. if you push them in as far as the picture posted above it should be held in by the clip, try pulling it out by hand, it shouldn't come out if it's in fully.

While you guys are helping how do I connect up an oil temperature gauge. I have oil pressure and an oil light off of a tee piece on the sensor. Where do you connect a further sensor for the temperature?
in the oil cooler thermostat. or in a suitable oil filter head.

Handy tip from someone here was to fit the timing cover loosely and only tighten the fasteners up after the pulley has been refitted, that way the oil seal is centred on the pulley..
