Diff leaks are almost always axle seals, sometimes because someone installed used crush washers on the fill/drain plugs. Installing these doesn't take a long time, get it done and cross it off your list.
And I'm confused by #10, do you have a coolant leak or not?

The coolant leak comes and goes. Its not much. Small puddle in the morning some days.
I think the c-clip is bad because I replaced the seal, and it looks farther out than the other.

Weird, I thought I posted pictures. It turned out freaking awesome.
The cracks are from testing on some scrap pipe. I got a solid bead though, was just testing how far I could push it.
Here are some:

Just saw your picture. I think they are a little too small for my liking. Singular vents are probably the best but also a little pricy for me. And my gf hates how they look. She actually picked the GT500 vent without knowing anything about it. If I can find it cheap enough I think I'm gonna go that way.
