nasty bump, differential leak
 
anything else i should check? went through a nasty dip going 45 mph, briefly shut down my radio, now my rear differential is leaking greenish fluid. took the car out of commission and am going to inspect it. no other things are leaking as far as i know. drove it 50 miles just fine after the bump (then realized it was leaking).

Take off the cover and inspect the seal change the fluid.

Where is it leaking from?

and greenish!? Not brake fluid by any chance?

Greenish?
Coolant leak blowing back onto the diff?

A sheet of loose-leaf paper has been deployed to my undercarriage to figure that out.

Fluid is oil, not water-based.

Will be back.
