As a result of not extending my diff breathers I have sprung a leak, I imagine its just a seal.
My diff oil is coming out of the little hole in the hub, I presume quite a few others have had this same prob. My question is if it is just a seal what is the easiest way to put a new one in? Or is it a whole new wheel bearing job?

If it's like mine, pull the axel out, and the seal is in the end of the diff housing, pick it out, and install the new one.

Also check that the oil has not washed the grease out of your axle bearing as this will fail. You can sometimes get grease back into the bearing with a needle point grease gun
