Hi All,
My '99 Defender has a problem of water getting into the rear diff. Not been doing water crossings so all I can imagine is the breather sucking in moisture as the diff cools down. When I drain the diff the oil is coming out brown (rusty-looking) with quite a bit of water mixed in. There's no oil leaks anywhere. There's rust appearing at the bottom rear of the diff housing. Any suggestions why or how to fix it?
cheers,
greenextreme
