Should not have lost to much of any fluids but its worth checking fill plug for diff is a large torques bolt about halfway up the diff fill it until it starts dribbling back out it wont take much, before you try and undo it give it a good smack with a hammer or you will round it off.

Did you pop the drive shaft out of the end ,if you did check the engine mount as they are prone to failing and eating driveshafts as the engine lifts.

i have the same problem atm, unsure whats causing mine so doing lots to reslove it, BUT you will have not lost any fluids but as said check anyway for peace of mind... you only lose fluids if there is a problem diff side
