If you clean out the diff breather you may find that the leaks stop. Mine did.
I think you are probably looking at 2 hours labour for the drivers side, the passenger side is not the same and the diff needs to come apart to do it as far as I know. Think you should budget for about £100 plus VAT if they need to be replaced. Get the breather cleaned first and leave it a couple of weeks - the leak may clear then.

Diff oil seals
Hi thanks for the reply mine is leaking from the passengers side i think as the oil is leaking from the back right hand side as you look from the front of the car. How easy is it to clean the breather and where is it located , also would this be cleaned when the car is serviced or does it get over looked.I presume that like most release valves as pressure increases the breather should release this pressure if not the only place is for oil to leak from the seals.Thanks for any reply.

I actually found the easiest way is by removing the front drivers side wheel and going in through the wheelarch.
