Disconnect the vent tube on the differential and blow through the tube on the differential. If you are unable to blow through it, then the differential is creating too much pressure and pushing out the oil through the tube. I recommend taking a tiny brush and cleaning out the tube on the tube and keep it as clean as possible to help the ventilation on the front differential. If you need further assistance with your oil leaks, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
