Got oil leaking out of the solenoids i think, its under my seat so i cant tell exactly where its coming from, i made sure my F&R have good breathers and arent clogged up, they are fine what is the story? I saw a thread on this about a year ago but never read it all. The search results sent me on a wild goose chase.

If you have lockers it will mean that the internal "o" ring on the air actuater is now dead & diff oil is back feeding up the line under pressure & coming out the top of your solinoid (comon fatigue fault with ARB air lockers) just check which solinoid it is & that will tell you whitch diff has the issue..
TJM have rectified this problem with their NEW pro locker. It has an external actuater.
you gotta luv the smell of diff oil spewing threw ya car.
cheers piglet
