Bonjour
Ummmh...l've been concerned about the axle oil...when l loosened (what l think is) the oil level plug (about a third up from the diff base) ...a paste/grease like substance slid out of the hole.
The rear axle has a short tube prodruding at 12 O'Clock.
The front axle appears to have a slotted screw in the same position.
Have you any thoughts/advice siv vu plac

look at my other post in the other section: you'll have all the answer on the link I gave you
if what is leaking is of the "coffee with milk" color, it is likely that it was water contaminated
