Default Diff ? should i be concerned?

The dealer resealed my front diff because every bolt had seepage around it , but 2 dealer both said the rear one is not bad and no reason to be concerned it is only 2 bolts one you can not see and pic.What do you guys think?

That seepage is common. As long as they aren't dripping you will be fine.

Ummm, not a jeep expert, but the diff shouldnt be leaking at all. This is from every solid rear axled vehicle that ive owned. But like everyone hear says, it could just be a "Jeep Thing"

There is always a little seepage there I would't be concerned. Only if it drips.

I wouldn't worry about that, just keep an eye on it. Next time you change the diff fluid just pull the cover off and re-seal it yourself. Not a tough job at all but the dealers seem to over charge for this task for some reason.

both mine were much worse than that... had the dealer re-seal and it still did it... I just did it myself and no problems anymore... get a high temp RTV or gasket and do it yourself.

I am pretty sure the dealers simply have some moron hose it down with a supersoaker filled with rtv...
