Default Leaky butt?

I have driven 5 1/2hrs to kick this Vette up and as it sits in the parking garage of the hotel I’m staying at I notice the rearend leak. Dare I drive it all the way home like this or do I wait until Monday and see if I can get in at a local dealership? I am currently in Chattanooga Tennessee needing to get back to Mount Vernon Illinois with it. Unfortunately money is an object, so if it’s too expensive to repair locally I may just have to risk it.

Hey this Saturday at 7:43 PM Chattanooga Tennessee time and I need to be leaving tomorrow at noon s hey this Saturday at 7:43 PM Chattanooga Tennessee time. Our plan was to leave in the morning.

If you have tools available to you, I would just top it off and run it. Fix it when you get home.

Take it to a local oil change service. They should be able to check the fluid in the rear diff for a minimal fee.
