I also noticed a slight leak that I believe is the Pinion seal. Think this could have anything to do with it? I guess maybe I should check the rear diff. fluid level?

I would check the rear diff fluid, in addition, the pinion seal could have been damaged by driveline vibration. (DAMN I can't type this morning!)

I wouldn't worry about it too much, as a weeping rear pinion seal (to use a mil def of a class one leak, the area around the seal is wet with fluid, but no drops are formed) seems to be somewhat the nature of the beast. If you see drops forming or forming and falling then I'd be a touch more worried about it.

I'm still struggling with this noise. I have noticed that when driving on flat ground, the noise almost immediately stop when I let off the gas pedal. As soon as I get back on the gas (even very slightly) it starts again. Thoughts on that?
