W206 Front Diff Leaking

Took my 2019 W206 in for Service B. They found that the front diff was leaking. Luckily, I’m still under warranty. Does anyone know if this is a common issue? How much would it have cost without the warranty- ballpark.
Thanks!

@NicoC300 I had the same situation and would recommend a second opinion on this. I brought my C400 to a dealership for 60K service and the SA said the front differential seal is worn out and causes leaking in which they quoted me $2,900 to fix it. I declined right away and took my car to a reputable indy shop and they were not able to find any leak and mentioned that this area can be sweated and catches dirts, therefore, making it like a leaking grease. If it were, in fact, leaking, the quote I got from the indy shop is $1,350. Hope it helps.
