Hi
I've noticed some oil spots on my drive at the location above where the rear diff on my Sport normally resides.
Looking at the diff the back 'plate' of the diff has a general covering of oil. The oil seems to cover the whole plate and is above the drain and fill plugs and seems to go above the two mounting bolts, although it's difficult to see above these bolts.

Anyone any idea what could be causing the leak? It hasn't been recently filled, so I guess I have some sort of washer or gasket failure?

Rgds
