First, I assume the 3 bolts with lock-nuts located on the front of the differential housing are the pinion bearing retaining screws? The bottom one has a slow oil drip. Can I remove it and add thread sealant to stop the leak? Since there are 3 of them, will the other 2 hold the bearing in place? If so, should I just count the turns to remove it to put it back in the same depth or is there another way to know the correct setting, (torque) ? I just looked in the shop manual and can not find reference to it, other than in a diagram.
