Rear Diff leaking oil at half shafts
just noticed oil leaking from dif at half shafts, are the seals likely to need replacing or is something else wrong. Filled up with synthetic about 6 months ago and its been fine up to now. Is there a breather on top of dif casing?

There is a breather on top of the rear diff. From my experience it is quite common for there to be small weeps of oil that just look like damp patches on the casing.

no Ron. I defo did the job right and it was fine for 6 months. I reckon it's more to do with the synthetic oil as it has a greater 'searching affect' than mineral oil or the top breather is blocked. Worst case I'll have to put a mapable one on when it goes bang.....ah well!
