2022 Performance Pack possible diff/axle leak already?

[EruptionGT]

I’ve owned my 2022 for almost 4 months and it’s been a fun great car so far, about 3500 miles on it. I am currently overhauling my suspension and it’s on a lift in our garage and happened to notice last night a tiny bit of wetness on the two “ears” at the bottom of the differential housing. I had already wiped it up so you can’t see in the photos. I also saw a faint trace of an oil drip line going down the diff housing and was able to wipe it up on a microfiber so I’m worried since it wasn’t totally dry that I have a minor leak coming from the axle shaft seal where it meets the differential. For now Im gonna clean everything up real good and just monitor it. Last thing I want to do is take it in to Ford for warranty work, I’ve heard too many horror stories of dealerships servicing your car lol.

Usually that is normal with a brand new car. I’ve seen it on my prior 2016 S550 and on my 2018 S550.

Spray down the areas with carb cleaner or a similar product, wipe dry. Monitor the area to see if there is any more seepage.

I did the above with both, never had an issue or any further seepage afterwards.
