The differential includes a first side gear on a first side of the differential configured for being drivingly connected to the first output shaft; a second side gear on a second side of the differential configured for being drivingly connected to the second output shaft; a differential housing radially surrounding the first and second side gears; and a first bearing rotatably supporting the differential housing with respect to the gearbox housing. The differential housing includes axially extending holes passing therethrough from an exterior of the differential housing to an interior of the differential housing for directing fluid that is between the differential housing and the gearbox housing into the interior of the differential housing.
