That's a pretty full-blown failure.  SOmething has let go big time to allow that gear out of the diff casing :-.

[!Expletive Deleted!]....... i have seen this on another forum in the last week and the owner knew exactly what it was, something inside had been chewed off and blown through the casing just like yrs, but two holes. It was terminal, will see if i can find the link.
