Default Front diff leak?

Need some help identifying a part/ leak. Noticed a couple spots on the garage floor.

2017 5.0 4x4

Thanks

Does the 5.0 use the CRAPLASTIC oil pan? If so that would be my guess.... My 2017 3.5 eco with 2500 miles is waiting for a new pan so it can get changed....... already leaking!!

Did you have your oil changed recently? I suspect it might be residual oil that drains when your oil filter is changed. Wipe/wash of the wet spots and drive for a few days and see if it's wet again.

Thanks guys. Looks like it was the factory oil filter leaking (which is disappointing) at the seal and ended up dripping a little further back. Changed oil and filter and no more leak.
