Default Dive shaft ???

Just noticed this today. Is this normal? Not dripping just wet and black.

Yes. The tailshaft bearing is actually lubricated via a 30 thousandths clearance around the tailshaft seal. This also keeps that boot from getting dry where the drive shaft penatrates.

You literally have no idea. I took pictures of this same thing on my truck earlier today and was gonna post them on here tomorrow asking the same thing. So Thanks for making it a little easier on me and I'm glad this is normal, it had me a little worried.
