Default Rear axle leak 2012 GT

Just a heads up when installing my exhaust I found a small leak in the rear end around the pumpkin. Nothing terrible but definately leaking. Took it to ford evidently there is a service bullitin about this issue. Also somehow the way my e brake line was run in the car it was touching somewhere on the rear end and it had rubbed the protective sleeve right off of it. If you haven't been under the 2012 yet it would be worth it to check these things.

Did they fix the problem under the warranty?

Yea it was a warranty fix. Evidently according to the service bulletin it is a wide spread problem on the 2011, 2012, gt.

my 06 still pukes some oil out the vent tube. I need to check the level. I've got a nice caked on dirt clod of gear oil on my axle tube.
