Default Diff. Cover Leaks?

I recently bent my rear axle shaft wheeling and had to get a new one installed. When doing so, they had to unbolt the rear diff cover and rebolt. The diff fluid started leaking and they "re-torqued" the bolts which solved the problem for a while and now it's leaking again....a very slow drip. Any idea what is cuasing the cover to keep leaking?

I had this same thing happen when I had some WARN diff cover plates installed on the front diff cover (by a different shop) and am having the exact same problems. Cover is fine for a few weeks and then comes the slow drip. Any suggetions?

Thanks!

Brian

Take it back to them. They didn't do a good job of sealing it.
