After living with a leaking angle gear for the last 9 years or so the pinion bearing finally blew. Took the angle gear off only to finally find the source of the leak - a cracked case! I'm pretty sure I had that crack for a long time, my gear oil was always dirty no matter how often I changed it which presumably wore down the pinion bearing to the point of failure. New angle gear was $160 from local recycler
