To be honest, the diff casing is so thin you run the risk of actually making it worse! [Unless you are a pro welder]
You'd be better off cleaning/degreasing the area and repairing it with a compound.
JB Weld is great for that sort of thing Thumbs Up Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.

You could use something like this I did a temporary repair on a sump with it and it was still there 4 years later when I changed my car.
