I expect you may need a rebuild but may be wrong. Bara motorsport in England will give you an honest answer and can do the work and is used to dealing with overseas.

I’d personally fit a better back diff like a gripper ect then you know it will lock, viscous diffs are average at best

The viscous is a closed unit, it would not help to put ls oil in the diff. Either have he rebuilt, by Bara, get a used one, or best Upgrade to gripper or similar
