Pinion seal is leaking like a sieve all of a sudden (hoping it's not the bearing). Shop manual says upon reassembly to tighten the nut 1/16th of a turn past where index marks are made. However, all of the reading I've done has people retightening the nut to the exact point where it was removed. Also, shop manual makes no reference to using silicone on the pinion splines...nor does it say to use RTV on the outside metal circumference of the seal which I've seen in several posts and how-to videos. Thoughts?
