Hi

Check the level of gear oil and top up if needed!! have you noticed any oil leaking underneath? leave it parked over night and check in the morning.

If the level is down then maybe you have a driveshaft seal out whch will want sorting before it causes the gear box to fail.

as for isolating the fault, the more common issue in my experiance is shaft bearings inside the g/box!! If its a high pitch whine ( like the one a touring car makes with a racing gearbox) then it could be the problem.
