Hmmm true but not just the only issue..
If the breather has broken as it has and gets blocked up it will cause pressure in the diff and seals to blow out and start leaking..
It's an easy fix though..

Thanks for the quick replies.
Do you guys know where the breather hose goes to, is it hooked up to the carbon canister?

shouldnt be building pressure at all, not a bad idea to keep it unblocked.
all it usually is is a fitting on top of the diff, with a rubber hose that runs down.

the other end goes under the back seat - just needs a dry air source and not a lot of ait either.
