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.

 

top off the fluid.

re torque the bolts.

Clean the diff cover face

Keep an eye on it.

I had a leak at the same milage- tightened and no more issues.

good luck

 

just an idea i had some similar issues with the seal cracking on obstacles or what ever, id look into some lube locker gaskets they move with the plate and are reusable. just something to consider upgrading, hope it helps
