As per the above loose wire setup, I found that if the oil sensor wire in my 75 was off, the truck would idle only for 10 secs or so before dying. Perhaps also look into this before spending big on injector pumps etc.

The one on mine runs down inside the chassis. Mine is a low mount though.

Check the back of the transfer where the metal cup/seal is.

Mine was doing exactly the same thing, wouldn't leak when still, only under load.

Diff was rebuilt by a reputable company here on the coast. I have just replaced the breathers with some new trailgear items so can't rule that out. Tailshaft is near impossible to put on when the car is on the hoist, car has to be on the ground and the diff under load to be able to bolt tailshaft up.
