The diff seems to leak passed the large o-ring onto the gear teeth, maybe a thicker o-ring as the white one doesn't look like it is enough to create a seal. The shocks seem to have a lot of play or wobble in the shafts. Could it be this letting air in?
I had one shock that got air in it but that was because the bottom cap wasn't fully tightened. I had some initial diff leak but I may have over filled it. Feels correct in action and not leaking after three weeks.
The shocks and diffs are not a new design. They are the same as on there latest car the D10. The diff is the same as the D05.
