Default Rear diff problems after 0 - 60..........

so i did three launches from 6k at croft on sunday all 4 wheels spinning

on the 4th launch from 7k the passenger rear wheel did not spin at all

the diff has been leaking for a while and has had a little whine

after the 0 - 60 when i was on track i spun twice both times i was turning right, could i have broken the diff ??

i have never lost controll of it before and put it down to tyres??

theres a huge pool of oil under it now

please help
