So i was driving on my near-broken diff today and it went POP and came to a stop going whirr whirr whirr whirr the whole 10 meters... AYC fluid (or SOMETHING clearish with a red tinge very thin consistency) spilt out in a trail behind the car and a puddle where it finally stopped.

This is bad im assuming? or is it normal when a diff dies :D

Was told a few days ago that its the bearings that were going in my diff.

So is it just the diff or have i broken something else now too??

that is normal for when the diff blows. If you stick your head underneath the car you'll probably see a big hole where it all came out.
