Question Leaking gearbox oil still

Have had a problem with leaking what I think is gearbox oil for some time now. I've had Thwaites change the driveshaft seals and even o ring, they even put a rim of silicone round yet the problem still persists. Anyone had anything similar? The thing is the gearbox fluid never seems to go down! Here's an idea of how much I'm getting.



Keep in mind this has built up over time and only the shiny looking blobs are recent.

What do you guys think?

Well before I had the seals done it was drippin from the bottom of the front diff. I'll have to get jack it up tomorrow and have a look to see if it's still coming from the same place.

Had a look underneath earlier, seems to be coming from passenger side of the front diff. But it doesnt look like much. Seems to be rolling down and dripping from the bottom off the diff as it builds up. WTF is goin on!!!??
