Well – maybe. Depending on which read end you’re running. The illustration below is representative, but should be close enough for discussion sake.
The pinion shaft is pulled tight against the rear bearing (7) as the yoke (2) is pulled tight against the front bearing (4) as you tighten the nut (1).
The seal (3) is probably shot, thus the leak. You can put in a new seal and then check to see if all good and snug after you torque the yoke back into place. There should not be slop there at all (aside from the measurable backlash between the gears). If all is good, remove the broken bolt, replace gasket and rear cover, fill with oil, and you should be okay.
Good Luck,
