It seems a little oily down there... but i've read that some oil around the differential seals is normal. Do you guys think my seals are bad or does this seem like an allowable amount of oil...?

Can't tell if that's the passenger side or the driver side axle seal but mine looked like that and I changed the seal. I believe list price for the seal and clip is $25. Passenger side takes about 30 minutes. Driver side maybe a little longer since the section 2 needs to be lowered.

I had the same issue, the dealer completed this for me under my warranty.
If anyone has warranty, go and tell the dealer, they will do it for you. ![]()
