Check the oil filter reservoir as they often spring a leak (if the seals are not changed during servicing) and it drips down that side of the diff |

Forgot to mention that I changed out the old style crankcase breather last week for the updated style, wether this has anything to do with it, I doubt it as it's on the opposite side to the leak. |

And don't go under your car in off road height without putting an axle stand or two in place, just in case!
