Default Leaking Diffs

anyone had any issues with leaking diffs?

I have the front leaking oil out of one of the outdrives and the rear is leaking from both outdrives.

Both diffs were about 1/3 full when I opened them up. My conclusion is that perhaps there is dirt in betweek the x-ring and the ourdrive and its causing the seal to leak.

I run on hard packed dirt and this is the second meeting the car has had.

Its concerning as it changes the diff action as the oil leaks out. There is oil all over the wishbones and the plastic outdrive covers.

If anyone has worked out how to get the outdrive gear out, I would apprectiate a procedure. They had to be tapped on so getting them off is going to be a challenge.

Ideas?
