I was doing routine inspection at 7k miles yesterday and noticed that both front and rear pinion seals at the differential seem to be weeping / sweating a little. No oil on the ground and discoloration around the seal is somewhat minor.

Is this normal?

I had the same with no visible drip and oil levels remained fine many thousands of km. seals have been replaced now though.

Makes sense. Not concerned. I’d like to get a free diff gear oil change front/rear out of a warrantee claim :)
