Default 2011 diff seal leaks

I saw a post earlier but wanted to make more aware. I have a 2011 Rubicon with 2,800 miles on it and just brought it in for some recall work. The dealership, my buddy manages, noticed that my diff cover seal were almost leaking. I would recommend that everyone with a 2011 takes a look at the seals and maybe just go ahead and apply new seals. Looks like the plant has poor quality work or silicone.
