try cleaning the breather on top of the diff,

Thanks for the tip but the breather at the top of the diff is clear. The seal has been wet looking with oil for a year or more, after the last trip the underside of the plastic shrouding was sprayed with a mist of oil, I keep putting off changing the oil seal as when I remove the oil filler plug the level never seems to go down.

Might also be worthwhile checking the flange (pinion bearing )for lift.

No luck finding a replacement oil seal, Mazda AVA etc all no reply. A friend has the same problem on his Bongo, been leaking for years, just tops up the diff every now and then.
