My rear diff has been leaking in the past, I have cleaned it up and touch wood it doesn't get any worse, no signs of any further leak or oil droplets. Yours does look pretty bad even my centre box has the nice oil patch on the pipe.

Mot time tomorrow so hopefully it will pass, have cleaned the pipe up aswell and sprayed so it doesn't look too bad.

Hope you get it sorted

** Update **

I put a tray underneath the diff last night, and this morning there was seamed to be a lot of oil.  

It was about size of a 50 pence piece, the oil was not very dark it was orangey brown colour on my finger.

Pete suggested Traffic Film Remover, does anyone know where i could get this from apart from Online?- I'd like to get it sorted today.

I doubt Halfrauds would do it, searched their site but its rubbish as you know.

Any other ideas were i could get it from?

Ok now found some, I can get it from a HSS Hire shop in town.

It generally seams to be used in hi-presure washers, I don't have one of those, how effective would it be from a handheld spraying thing, gardening type ones?

I shouldn't think using one of these would make any difference and would probably help with access to the problem area aswell.

Its got to be worth ago even if it doesn't work.

The traffic film remover is from Machine Mart....they have a shops all round the country including one in Bristol.
A garden sprayer is what I suggested you use to apply it.

just spray on engine degreaser or oven cleaner leave a while and clean off ez

A diff leak must be a 'chararistic', I've noticed today that mine is too, although not as bad as Tunnie's   (Had the penetrating fluid out in preparation for next weeks visit to Drury Ln Oldham)

Pinion oil seal replacement is now covered in the Maintainance section....enjoy.
