Default Unknown fluid build up


2018 JKU Notice a build up of some type of fluid on my front axle on the drivers side also saw a little fluid in the drive way. I read other forums and said it might be a bad axle seal. Looking to see if anyone can help me identify what it may be.

You have an inner axle seal leak. That is gear oil exiting the end of the axle tube.
