Sick of gear oil
Sense I re geared and put an after market diff cover I have had it leaking out the over flow and it is getting so old. Pulled the cover after 500 miles to inspect the gears and filled it to the bottom of the axel tube and it is still leaking. Would I be safe just to let a little out until it stop spitting up.

if you're sure you filled up your diff with the required amount or, to the bottom of your axle tube, try removing the breather hose and flush it with brake cleaner. sometimes the build up can make it easier more more fluid to get pumped out kinda like a primed pump.
