Default 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).

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.
