I have oil comming out of the back of the rear diff. Ive done a search but every result comes up with with some seal near the shaft.

This is looking at the front of it. No oil leaking out and dripping down.

This is the back and you can see the oil about to drip down.

What could be the problem or where is it comming from.

its a 300 disco

Yer diff cover has rusted and become porous - a common problem.
You can buy new covers to weld on, but you need to be a very competent welder.
My local Indie charges £150 to replace them.

Will it fall off then or just leak oil over the floor.

I will top the oli up this weekend but has seemed to get a little worse over time.

where abouts are yu Stevenb?

Safari engineering charge about £100.

If you need to replace the diff pan - paddocks charge abiout £35 each - but if yu go orf roading then yu might consider a system made by 4x4 R Us - the item is more expensive, but you dont need a diff guard and , as it is bolt on, easily replaceable.
