they might not have sealed the diff cover causing the leak. Or over filled it causing it to leak out the vent. Did you old cover have a hole in it for the rear exploding or something? If they were to fix it they should have cleaned and tanked it all getting all the particles out before the rebuild. I usually use a bead of black RTV around the whole cover and tighten the bolts is a criss cross pattern. Fairly easy to do in the garage. Hardest part really is filling it back up.
