You could also as a cost save just lower the oil level in the diff and not worry about it. The diffs have a tolerance on how much oil they need and just keep the level below the diff seal and monitor occasionally for more leakage. I know this isn't fixing the problem, but it is a lot cheaper, and their isn't a lot of risk in running the diff dry, since the case seal is not leaking. Just keep an eye on it.
I also have found that different diff fluids more easily leak than others. It might be worth while to try a couple of different diff fluids, BMW's, redline, etc. to see if that stops the leaking.

Wouldnt it eventually get to the point you describe?
Then he can find out if the minimum fill level is a 'theory' or if there really is a need for lubrication to prevent destruction....
