Cheers bud, just had quite a bit of oil coming from it past few days,
If the IRD has been upside-down etc oil has probably found its way past the baffles inside so will get pushed out of the breather. Have you checked the level ? If it's been overfilled the excess will also be pushed out the breather, think the IRD only hold about a litre.

Thankyou for reply

If you are sure there is oil coming out of it - that is very strange.
Have you also been losing coolant? It could be that the cooler is leaking into the IRD.
It may be worth draining the IRD to see what comes out. Remember to loosen the fill bolt first as these are soft and can round easily. If a lot of fluid come out with that removed - you know something is getting in there.
If its not coolant, the only other substance presumably is from the gearbox - but that would need to get through a couple of seals.
