I have a 13 JKU and have some sweating around where the axel housing goes into the diff on my Dana 30. No drips what should I do?

the axle seals are covered under the 5 year 100000 mile drivetrain warranty. take it in and have it looked at or at least documented.

The service writer told me about it when I was in on Tuesday for oil change. The tech said it was leaking, and the service advisor said it was "sweating" should I pursue a fix or just keep an eye on it?

they don't get better only worse so while they wont strand you just because they are leaking they can cause a mess. I like things right so I would get it fixed.

Driver side failed at 95k miles, no other internal mods. Just cleaned up the tubes, replaced the guides, and installed Synergy seals. No more leaks! (Knock on wood)
