Default diff breather is leaking fluid

i noticed that i had some fluid collecting on the bottom of my diff so i got under the car and traced it back to the diff breather valve. has anyone else had this problem with the sc? i did a seach and didnt find anything about it. the only reason i could thing of it leaking is because it was over filled or its building pressure because of the breather possibly not working correctly.

any input is appreciated. its not leaking that much and doesnt seem to be bad of a leak.

Are you sure its not leaking around the gasket and it appears to be coming from the breather valve? I would spray some carb cleaner and keep it an eye on it and recheck it. It is confirmed leaking, I would say overfilled. If its the axle seals, where the axles goes in on both sides, PM me and I will guide you through the steps to replace them. Let us know.

im almost 100% certain that its from the breather valve. the fluid is almost turquoise in color, quantum blue fluid, so its easy to see. plus i got a mirror out and and got it back behind the diff to see where it was coming out at.
