Hello Everyone!
First off, I have learned so much from these forums, you all are amazing people putting in time and effort into all of your responses. I can not express my appreciation enough for how helpful these forums have been.
That being said, I am woefully new to rebuilding cars and this may be a silly question, but I havent been able to find the information I have been looking for in older posts.
I have a 8 3/4 741 rear end. It leaks from the pinion seal and to the best of my knowledge, has never been worked on. The numbers are from 2 years newer than the car so I believe it was a replacement at some point. I had no issues with it when I drove it back in 2005, but I also did not know enough to notice any issues.
I am curious as to if I should do an overhaul kit ($300) or just replace all the seals. Is there something specific I should be looking for to see if I need to overhaul it? Are there common issues that I can look for at this point?
Thank you all for any assistance, my apologies if this is too newbie of a question or if I have overlooked another place where this information is readily available.

aboard. 
I would just do the seal and DR Diff can get what you need. Great guy to deal with and he listens to you when you ask him a question. Alot of us use him.
