Pics of a leaky diff? Anyone?

I think mine is not leaking. But I don't know what one looks like when it is. Pretty sure the small amount fo oil on mine is wind blown from the engine after 600 motorway miles.

Here's what I saw:

So I am feeling my lack of experience of what a leaky diff looks like in the garage. No drips on the floor. 

Context: the car is banned from road use pending various fixes including oil leaks one of which is allegedly the diff.

aha, so not from the join right at the lowest part. The bits you (both) mention are real shiny clean, not a hint of oil. Not the tiniest vestige.

I have had my highly sensitive smells monitor (wifey) take a whiff and she just says it's all horrible. Granted this was engine versus gearbox. I am pretty sure if the horrible smell was different she would have noticed a different horrible. She just said it was all the same.

All these descriptions are helpful and reassuring me. Thanks.
