My car now doesn't move in reverse and barely movers in 1st, but with the metal on metal noise very apparent.
Could this be a gear issue in the differential?

I have a 1987 bmw 535is. I recently replaced the differential cover. Upon replacing the cover I used a self-applying gasket maker. I neglected to wait the 24 hr recommended period for the gasket maker to seal, the gear oil leaked. Well on the road, my car was making a bad metal on metal noise, and a horrible burning smell was wafted to my nostrils.
