Fill it back up & keep an eye on it. It's not leaking... it's marking it's territory!

Seriously though... It looks like it's coming from the plug so maybe replace it. Or search the forum and do the metal plug swap if you have that crappy plasticy-rubber b@$$*@#d.

Drain the diff fluid. Get a HD cover with a screw in fill plug. Use Perma-tex Black to seal it. Re-fill with new diff fluid. Happy driving.

lol or if you dont wana spend the money take off the fill plug and clean the plug and the serfice I also rotated it 180 deg just because I think that it swells a little when the fluid touches it but it probably dosn't

Had one on my XJ. It's BEEF. Permatex can be bought at any auto store.

Phew! i'll have to get that cover after I get my lift, wheels, and tires. I'm gonna be set back $500+ for my 3" rusty's suspension kit, $200+ for my wheels, and another $500+ for my 31" Dunlop Mud Rover's

No big deal, replace the plug, probably a good idea to just replace the oil too. Most owners never do it so I usually do when i buy a jeep.

Dont bring anything to a mechanic, someone will help you fix it yourself. 5$ to do it yourself or 500$ for a mechanic to do it. Makes more sense right?

Okay, I'll do that soon. I don't know anything about axles and diff's sadly, so is there any specific diff fluid I have to get?
