My TR6 is doing this on long "sweepers".
Next time the diff is out, I'm drilling the case for an AN fitting and
I'll plumb to a "catch tank".
For now, I just check the level from time-to time. Total "slosh out" is
very little. Well, very little compared to the oil that blows out the
back of the valve cover when I crank out over 5500 RPMs...

Rust will not be a problem under the car!
