Does this mean that if I leave it as it is, I would have to top up the differential oil occasionally? Also, is this something that will get worse over time?

The car isn't under warranty but I suppose I could try the goodwill route.

Yes, and yes and potentially yes.

It's going to be a new pinion seal then.......not taking any chances on a car like this!
