Yes, they do - and it's worth a check that they're there and fitted with extension pipes. They _should _ be run up to about the chassis rails and have a U-turn on the top to prevent water getting in when submerged. If not then the diff will definately take in water, actually sucking it in if it was warm as it cools down rapidly. Results are not pretty, especially if the oil level wasn't at max to begin with.
