2002 ford f150 just had all its oils change at mr lube and now it is leaking where the drive shaft meets the rear axle, How serious of a problem is this and how much does it cost to repair?

Did they do a service on the differential?

It is called a pinion seal. The seal is about 22, the labor is about 1.2 hours. Easy fix.
