Diff oil isn't thin and it smells really bad of sulfur, it should be easily identifiable. I assume you'd have said if it was black engine oil. ATF is red, your power steering fluid might be too. SLS is, I think, mostly colorless. You did check the color of the fluid didn't you? -Curt From:

SLS fluid ought to be clear or light green/blue if the Febi version, but is often black when the pump seals start to go and allow engine oil to mingle with the hydraulic oil. This would be evident in the reservoir as well. Andrew Strasfogel wrote: SLS fluid is clear and not black. --
