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.
