You remove the transmission, and the flexplate(flywheel) to access the rear main seal.
Best left to a mechanic as the drive shaft has to come down and the big nut on the pinion gear that holds the drive shaft mount has to come off and then you can install the new pinion seal.
to replace pinion shaft seal you need to drop the drive shaft from the rear end then with large socket remove pinion nut from front of yoke remove yoke remove old pinion seal install new pinion seal reinstall yoke and pinion nut to specified torque re install drive shaft note now is the time to check and see if U-joints need replacing

Pinion seal: Remove the drive shaft from the yoke. Pull the pinion yoke off the pinion shaft. Remove the old seal and hammer on a new one. Seal is about 10 bucks. Re-assemble Rear cover: Remove the cover bolts. Put a pan under the rear end and pry the cover off. Clean and re-silicone the cover Re-assemble. WARNING!!!!! Don't let the rear end run dry, will cost you pinion bearings in a very short time.
No. The pinion seal would be at the differential input.
It sounds like the pinion nut is not tight enough and the pinion is now moving in and out. This will do bad damage to ring and pinion. You will need to replace crush sleeve in rear end now.
It may be your differential or your whole rear end or it could just be a worn out gasket.
with a ipact wrench and a really good compressor
