Default Front diff leaking?!?!?!?

Seems to be some leakage on the driver side front diff casing, i'm hoping its just the seal which i have now bought!

Problem is i need to visit a VERY sick friend on Saturday in Liverpool & want to take the cossie...............but the only day i can have the new seal put on in Sat afternoon. But i'm taking the cossie up even if i have to push the fooking thing up there!(yes he's a good friend!!)

Do you think i'll have any problems driving that far??

Suppose i just want to be sure........................

Just tighten all the bolts on the plate, take the filler plug out and stick some more oil in if its only for a few days.

as above, just check the pan bolts, then top it up, when you get back, take pan off, clean it all up, re-silicone, then reift, see if this cures it, othewise its driveshafts out im afraid, which is a PIG...
