So I had my car on lift today to change out rear my rear tires and all 3 seals on the rear end are leaking. The car is still under the bumper to bumper warranty.
I know each service department is different to deal with as far as warranty work goes but should I have any issues getting this covered since I have a Roush blower on it? Just trying to get an idea if it's even worth my time to take it in or if they're going to tell me to pound sand.

I noticed that on my car too, but only where the driveshaft connects up. the stain was pretty dry and i have had it for several thousand miles and doesn't look to be getting any bigger.

My two axle seals look similar and apparently only a handful of people have noticed this on their cars. Like Vinnay said, I wouldn't worry about it. I even checked the diff breather tube to make sure it wasn't blocked, it was free and clear. If it starts dripping then you may want to check it out again. Have you changed the diff oil yet? Mine didn't start until I did the BG swap.

At least the film of oil will help keep the rust from getting worse :) (it would have been nice if Ford could have shot some paint on these parts.........)

That is not a leak. Totally normal very minor seepage.

I found that funny they didnt paint it too. My 2014 Track Pack they painted the rear end. They didnt do any others in 14 just the track pack so I had hoped they would have on my 16 and 17 PP but NOOOOOOOOOOO

Mine is a little dark too but not leaking.
Maybe it's not the diff fluid just some lubrication they used during installation.

Maybe the paint retains too much heat?
