so whats the question? low/used fluid?

Drain and check. check if you have leaks? check if there is any in there.. check color..check plug for metal filings...Check..check..check..

other wise we are just playing a guessing game.

I replaced my rear wheel bearing thinking it was that because I heard a faint clicking. After I replaced it...noise was still there. So I raised it ans seem to be coming from the back end, from I believe is a diff. I'm not too mechanically inclined, but know a little. Car drives fine. I haven't checked anything just yet. I'm at work at the moment, just wanted a little feed back.

No leaks at all. Just wondering if it's possible to make a clicking noise if the fluid was low.

the only way fluid would go low is if you had a leak..

Like i said, drain it and put some fresh fluid in. check the plug for excessive metal.

Its coming from the drive shaft area. I've read several threads and can't seem to pin point weather it's the center support bearing or what. They said it's more of a clunking when it is, and mine is a clicking noise.
