Correct me if I'm wrong but the breather for the differential is on top of the housing and assuming this it would appear that oil is being ejected from this breather and lining the underside of your fl2 from the differential back especially at highway speeds and when you stop this oil has a chance to drop!

Because only there are the ends of the breathers. |

I understand... It is leaking on the exhaust system and then it finds its way.

Got it (finally ). Thats what my garage was thinking after I was there today for a short check. They want to inform themselves and next week they will look after it.

Seems to be standard after a low level repair and refill! Mine was the same, I used brake cleaner to remove all traces of oil from the outside of the diff case; no further oil drops. FL2 Auto 2009 Galway Green |

I had one of those leaks a while back (rear left), turned out to be a blocked breather pipe for the haldex. MY10 TD4 SE Auto |
