If you see the design of the seal, there is a spring on the side of the opening for the output flange. That spring holds the seal against the flange which creates the seal. That spring is not super tight and won't prevent all seepage. It does prevent your diff fluid from pouring out.

So you saying on the e46 some seepage is normal..so then this would necessitate periodically topping off diff oil?..
I have been under my diff countless times and its dry as a bone..hopefully the e92 is immune from this
