need help!!

I was out off roading and when i got out i noticed i was leaking fluid from the rear end. Come to find out, the pumpkin had a hole in it like some gearing broke right through it. The truck is still moving perfectly, the only problem is this hole in the rear housing of the pumpkin. When i take the rear cover off what kind of damage should i look for or expect? Not certain on what or why this happened. Any advice???

Does it a limited slip rear diff?
Is the hole from the inside out?

I've seen pieces of limited slip clutch blow out the cover, also pieces of gears.
Hopefully when you get the cover off you don't find anything toooo serious
