What is this that is leaking?

For one, man look at that rust. 2009 with only 11k miles. Anyway, crawled under for the first time today just to start getting familiar.

Found this leak on the passenger side. What is leaking?

Kind of looks like your axle seal may be leaking. Just a guess.

Mine looked like that. Just had the axle seals replaced under warranty.

Thanks guys, that's what I thought. I will check the fluid in the morning and get it to the dealer. Is that amount of rust normal this early?

Looks like it's normal, just hit it with some black spray paint.

Cool! I was actually going to start something like that this weekend by cleaning it all up and prepping, but if it needs fixed I may wait so the dealer believes me.
