We consider the nonlinear diffusion equation with a perturbed convection term. The potential symmetries for the exact equation with respect to the second conservation law are classified. It is found that these exist only in the linear case. It is further shown that no nontrivial approximate potential symmetries of order one exists for the perturbed equation with respect to the other conservation law.
