Rear differential breather pipe

Hi all,

Anyone know where the breather pipe for the rear diff ends up? Both my (driveshaft) oil seals started leaking at exactly the same time, and are getting progressively worse at the same rate. Just wondered if the breather might be blocked so forcing the gear oil out of the seals. Oddly though, the front propshaft seal is nice and dry...

cheers
Si

The rear breather passes along the under side of the body and is mounted behind the left side rear wheel arch cover.

Nice one, thanks Richard. Will have a look and check for 'foreign bodies' ;-)
