I have noticed what looks to be fluid leaking, where the front diff mounts to the frame. The leak has mystified me for months and couldn't pin point its exact location until 2 minutes before a storm forced me inside. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Hopefully someone can tell me exactly what I'm looking at. Don't want to get the run around from the dealership again, because this issue has happened before, and I was told that the problem was "fixed".

Almost looks like maybe oil residue from a filter change.

I thought the same thing. But the filter is clean. I've looked everywhere using a flashlight with an adjustable automotive mirror. That mount is the only thing that had oil on it

After looking at you pic again may be your front pinion deal seepage and when you used 4wd it slung it on the mount.

Ok, what puzzles me is that I haven't put the truck in 4WD in about a month. Thanks man, I'll be sure to check the work better after I take it in. This happened right after I bought the truck 2 years ago, and surprised that the seal doesn't last very long

There was a hairline crack in the housing. Thank god it should be fixed after this

JCR

Are you fixing the crack? If so, with what?

G Diablo

I'm not fixing the crack. The work is getting done under warranty.
