Mercedes has a UPDATED Rear diff cover to repair this ....Done several..
You can try to RESEAL the cover..but its best to replace the diff cover with the updated cover.

Problem fixed.
The issue was minor afterall. The vent's were clogged. The mechanic, cleaned the vents, flushed the differential with synthetic diffrential oil. Problem resolved. Cost + oil = $94.
