Default Little fluid on rear axle

I had my car up on some lifts and noticed there was a little bit of differential fluid on the axle and panhard bar, it felt like the valve/vent on the axle was pressurized (don’t think there should be any pressure?). Just wondering if anyone else noticed this, it seems more like a seep then a leak. I'll have to check under there in a few days see if anymore came out. (Car is 2 months old might take it to ford just wanted a little feedback thanks before hand.)

Take it in for a check. It could be leaking from the gridle seal.

not quite the same but I had to have my differential seal replaced as it was leaking (just barely) but the dealership didn't give me any lip about it...even though I have pro kits, new upper and lower control arms and pan hard bar.

Have you looked at the pinion seal? Mine had barely 7500miles on it with no mods when I noticed the leak. My service advisor didnt seem suprised either, so I am guessing this may be a common issue.

Cool thanks, ya I figured it might be a seal on the valve or something, I'll have it taken in, you guys think I would need to reload my stock tune and put back my stock air box, dont want any grief from them.
