There is no seal between the two flanges, although it has been known for oil to work through the splines on the diff. If that is a problem clean the diff flange/nut/washer and apply a liberal coat of liquid gasket to them, that "should" cure it.
As far as I am aware the "only" way to fill the diff is through the filler plug, (think thats why its called that, ) so you will need to get it out someway, bit of heat may help. HTH Ray.
