I think that the oil leak path is a vulnerability when the warm diff housing hits the cool water and that causes the air pressure to suddenly drop inside the cover and they can suck water in. Is the diff vent in the stock location or have you raised it, because they are only around the top of the tyre height?

That's an Eaton E-Locker, if it's rusted I hope they cover it under warranty
It was defintiely leaking from the drivers side axle seal...at least. Ruffy commented on it the other day. His fault then
But, yes, you are correct about cool down vacuum effect.
The breather was extended up to the bonnet hinge a couple of years back.
There's a thread on when I sucked water into the tranny, and rebuilt it, somewhere on here. That was when I realised that vent was only 2" long
Best project I've done for a while.
