Leaky driveshaft/diff seal (warranty)?

The seal on my rear differential (where the drive shaft goes into it) appears to be leaking. Is there a "technical" name for that seal?
Also, should that be covered under the 7/70 drivetrain warranty that I have on my '02 (even though I am running a non-Mopar gear oil)?

Thanks,
~Rob

Should be covered and you won't lose enough lube to worry about it when the seal is changed.

Cool, Thanks J Body, I wondered if the whole thing had to be drained to change the seal.

I called the dealer and I have the 7yr/100k on my '02. It is covered and there is a $100 deductible.

That's about what it cost me today, $82.
How long between fixes was it for you?
