A couple of questions.
I'm gonna remove the cover to inspect and reseal. Hopefully I can save it. When making the gasket I normally use Right Stuff, Is that good to use?

I use the Zep silicone that comes in an aerosol available at Advance and most parts stores.

Recommendations on what differential oil I should use?

I prefer Mobil 1 synthetic with the recommended friction modifier.

Naturally I have to dig into this further to make sure the gears and shafts are ok.
Now it seems that you just have dry or sticky clutches in the dif. and the new lube should make it all better.
