Shaft seals also!
Buzz, I've read the above and I'm not sure you understand about the shaft seals that are pressed into the cover. Joyridin' #14 post above refers. These seals ride on the stub axle rotating shaft and can harden with age and leak. They are particularly vulnerable to heat from the inboard brakes under heavy track use. See:

I recall having to buy a couple versions to get the correct ones for my ERA diff. To replace them on a one piece axle/output flange unit, you must disassemble the stub axle (yes, major PITA). To re-assemble that cartridge unit you have to torque the inner nut to pre-load the bearing correctly. I carried them to my mechanic ...
