rear diff problem
So i was changing the gear oil in my front pig when i noticed that my rear pig had gear oil everywhere yesterday. After i cleaned it up and noticed that it was coming from the yoke so I figured it was a bad seal. So today i bought my new seal and took my drive shaft off. The yoke going right into my rear diff is what im concerned about. It seems loose, i can slightly push it in and out and rotate it left to right a little. It seems to me that something is majorly wrong than just a bad seal. I do not know if it is suppose to be like this or if i have a real issue on my hands. Please help me. Thank you.

it is not supposed to have play like that... as already stated sounds like pinion bearings, the added play ruined the seal...
