Front Diff Breather

[AustHaflinger]

Heading out on a day trip with the local Land Rover Club in a couple of weeks so in preparation, it is an opportunity to do a service before I go. Lubricants, adjust brakes, oil/air filter, tappets and timing.

So the front is jacked up and I removed both front hubs oil - completely clean and as new.

Front diff oil was not not so nice - looks like water has got in a rusted a few bits as the oil was a reddish colour. Now I though the front diff was completely sealed so not sure where the moisture has come from. Is there a diff breather I do not know about? The front diff has always leaked oil from the swing arm fulcrum pins and even though I have had them out a few times and replaced the seals they continue to leak due to the idiotic design of trying to lubricate the swing arms with the diff oil.

The rest of the Haf looks Ok even though it is in regular use every few days.

Thanks

there is no breather. I think they expect the leaks to be enough compensation.
