Reply With QuoteIt is most likely some of the swivel grease leaked into the oil contaminating it. I would suspect it is nothing to worry about.

Changed oils in the driveline of the 130 today and the front diff oil was silver in colour , i.e. like extremely fine metal gliter suspended in the oil. Age of oil unknown , first time since I have owned the truck this oil has been changed so 20000+ ks and no apparent bad noises or lash in diff. The old girl just ticked over 300000 ks the other day so I thought I would give it a birthday. What could it be ? What course of action do I need to take ?

How silver? Lots?
The rear on my P38A did the same and it had lost some teeth but was still driving fine.

Run a magnet through it and let the oil drain off over night. I had a similar excercise with the Disco last year...followed shortly by alot of back lash in the ring & pinion.
It could also be the main roller bearings on their way out.
