Solution involves heavy cleaning of the engine, trans and differential. Put the vehicle up on jack stands high enough you can slide under on a creeper.
Clean and clean and clean again until there is no residual fluid anywhere.

Let it sit for a few days, with some white paper under the trans and differential area. The paper will give indications of where to look. Then with a good light, use the creeper to crawl under and spot the source of the leak.

Seems like a fun project. (have done it several times over the years)
