hi all i had a blocked rear diff breather and oil started leaking from the axle tube where it meets the diff housing .
fixed the breather but still notice a fine mist still coming from the housing not much any one got any ideas how do i stop it or will it eventually stop .
i allso have maxidrive axles so i over filled the diff by a few pumps regards david:)

Me be thinking the pressed in axle tube to diff fitting would be one of the last places for the housing to depressurize (seals would go first)...
I think you may have bent/cracked/damaged the press fitting and it will leak irrespective of breather?
Wont rust now - but may break further.
