They also have the dino 140 grade."
I'm assuming you mean the rear differential. In that case SYNTHETIC 75W-140 is the oil you must use. Many different companies produce the gear oil so you don't have to just get Redline. Many people here use AMSOIL, Royal Purple, Redline, Mobil1 and the list goes on. If it were me, I would not go cheap on my differential oil. If you order it from amsoil.com (Severe Gear 75W-140), it usually take a couple of days to get it at the most.

As far as the leaking seal, if it's under warranty take it to the dealership and have them take a look at it.

If you have any more questions, please let us know so that we can steer you in the right direction.
