Hi
Last weekend was a long one so I decided to do some work on my rover.
I wanted to replace a gasket on my front differential and before going into a more mechanical aspect I proceeded to drain all the oil on the Differential deposit. When I uncovered the drain valve an awful smell started to come out of my Differential deposit. I started to drain it and as I was inspecting the "oil" I noticed it was more water than oil. Is it possible for water to get into that deposit? I have checked for leaks of my differential to see if the water came into the deposit trough a baldy tighten part but so far no leaks have appeared. Is there another way the water could have gotten into that deposit?
Thanks

Water can get in through the breather tubes, if they're not extended. Time to drain and refill with diff oil.
