You've got more rust on that 09' than I do on my 97!

Shitty isn't it? It blew me away how fast my JK started showing rust. It has far and away been my biggest disappointment with it

I traded in a '97 Isuzu Rodeo that I had absolutely neglected the shit out of for 9 years and 100k+ miles. It had just started to show a little surface rust on the steering components and frame. My JK is polluted with surface rust everywhere.

Give it a try before you dive into replacing the seal.
I have to agree with this post, those pics dont look entirely like an axle leak.
