95 G20 Van Rearend

My G20 has developed a small drip from the rear axle pumpkin. Is this simply a gasket that let go, or is there something else that could be wrong? I've haven't hit anything. I just started to leak. Thanks.

Clean off the pumpkin and cover REAL good and then see where the oil is coming from. If you live in any of the states that use salt/calcium on the roads you're likely looking at a small rust pinhole. The cover is not very heavy and thinner in spots due to the way it is formed. They rust under the paint and when the paint chip falls off, It leaks.

It could also be the cover gasket or the front pinion seal. The gasket leak will be at the seam between the cover and the pumpkin, the pinion leak will show oil along the bottom of the pumpkin from the pinion back.
