Oil wetness/seepage near differential area
Is it normal to see oil wetness/seepage on bottom of the front differential housing near the plug?
I have also seen some oil wetness on the part that looks similar to a shock absorber installed horizontally near the front differential as well. See pictures:
What is your opinion, is it normal or something is not tight? It has not leak on the garage floor yet and the previous owner had the steering shaft replaced/repaired at 3,500 miles is what is on the Carfax history.
Thanks.
Asked my mechanic about it and he says the factory spray some protective layer around that area to further water/rust proof it.
