Re: whining noise at back end
pretty hard to diagnose what has happened !!!!
IMO the little oil sweat is not the problem but as above change the oil in diff and examine the old stuff for any filings!!!!

checked rear bearings left and right seems fine

I would say it is your rear wheel bearing aswell, how did you check to see if it was your rear wheel bearings or not? As just lifting it off the ground and rotating the wheel wont tell you, as I have been there and have the t-shirt!
If you want it lol.

^^^^^
i agree that it can be difficult to determine wheel bearing wear from diff wear in a 4wd car....

Re: whining noise at back end
Easiet way to check bearings if you haven't already tried this is to head down hill... clutch in... disengage engine to loose some noise and weave gradually from left to right. If you load up either the left or right wheel while weaving and the noise increases either one side or other... you have a worn wheel bearing. If bearing is fooked badly you will get play in the wheel from either swingin out of it if it's off the ground... grab top and bottom and see if there is play... then left and right!

Re: whining noise at back end
rear diff needed a very very small amount of oil
gear oil clean with no debris about
same noise in it now
-would you hear a knackered rear wheel bearing at 30kph?
-what would cause the gear oil to leak where it is?
thanks for all the help lads

Re: whining noise at back end
It won't be as high pitched a whine but you should hear it if it's knackerd bearings... and it can be more audible at low speeds as there is less background noise. What year.. mileage... have you oversized wheels as they play havoc with bearings???? I'd 18's on my V6 when i bought it and both rear bearings needed replacing as they heavier wheels knackered the bearings!

Re: whining noise at back end
Similiar mileage to my own and Rota's are a lightweight wheel... hmmm !
Don't know fella! If you can hear the noise at low speed as a dull whine and it gets more high pitched with speed... my best guess would be a knacker bearing... otherwise I'm not sure!

Re: whining noise at back end
thats what i thought i had a diff an gearbox specialist looking at it i even replaced the inner boots at the diff nothing solved it until i changed the diff. i wouldnt b*****t you as i know how head wrecking this stuff can be. but symptoms are identical to what happened to mine.
