Default Dif leaking.

-Harder front spring
-Thicker front shock oil

All of these things should also improve initial acceleration since the car is more flat.

You could also try a thicker front ARB.


By increasing the front droop it could cure the problem because it allows more roll before the front inner wheel hits the downstop and starts losing contact.
But in theory this is not the best solution to your problem.
It will reduce on-throttle oversteer.

Regarding the differentials

I also found the rear diff to be leaking a very little amount of oil, it's sweating a bit.
You can either replace the paper gasket every time you open the diff, or like I did apply a thin layer of liquid silicone gasket on both sides of the paper gasket.
This stopped the leaking for me.
The front diff doesn't leak, probably because of the thicker oil in the front.
I use some very fine wet and dry sand paper and a sheet of glass and I sand the face of the dif housing there are some slight mold marks..
Also I used a gasket sealer that's for gear boxes. Loctite make one called flange sealer, it stays soft.
If I don't do this they leak...
