Had the same problem a few years back on my silver elite,the rear diff seal that sits behind the prop had gone, vauxhall quoted £150,got local independent to do for £96.

Does it leak much?

Mine looks like it leaks (oil over the diff) but it never drips on the drive and the level doesn't go down. I think on long journeys a little seeps out a makes a big mess.
