Default ***Glue around Diff bolts??****

Well my car rolled down a hill yesterday the e break wasn't fully engaged i guese i was lucky i missed a phone poll by 3 feet and no damage was done to my car. but it did roll over some pretty big rocks so i was looking under my car and noitced theres this glue around the diff cover i know you use some kind of glue to seal it after u open it. but just wanted to make sure if the glue falls off my diff cover will leak. thats just a cover on the outside right? and they just put some kind of glue over the bolts on the outside? any help please

thanks.
