Default Strange tapping sound

OK. I have a strange Intermiten tapping sound that manifested today on my 86 951.

It sounds as if someone is tapping rather loudly on the passanger right rear wheel espcialy when turning left and when I get on it and there is load on the rear. If I engage the clutch it seems to stop. Once I let it our again, its a light tapping. It goes away if over 40 or so.

At first I though wheel bearings, but wouldnt that pursist all the time?
What could be the posible causes? Low Diff fluid?


Thanks for any insight.
