Default Front differential gasket

I only have 5500 on my '10 Mountain and it looks like the bottom part of my front differential cover gasket is starting to leak. No sign of hitting anything. Anyone have this happen?

The gasket is just an RTV. I would suggest calling up Dave at Northridge and get a Lube Locker. Then take your Jeep to the dealer and have them fix it under warranty.

I know my front and rear diff covers had a piss poor amount of rtv on them from the factory. They never leaked , but I'm suprised they didn't with the weak job they did sealing them. I could see how easiley they would. Mine only started leaking after they got dragged across some rocks at Hot Springs. I replaced the covers at that time.
