Front axle leak? ‘22 GLE63S Coupe
I wanted to get some input on something I noticed- on the front passenger side axle(?) I’ve noticed that there seems to be some sort of “sweating” around the area as shown in the images. Not sure if that’s normal or in-spec. But any input would be appreciated. The driver side seems to be completely dry and free of any grease. I’ve also noticed a very slight thunking on acceleration and when lifting off the throttle and wondered if this is a cause for that.

Look above/higher. Is anything leaking from above? Where is the oil fill cap in relation to the photo?

nothing leaking from above, oil cap is closer to the driver side, whereas this is on the passenger side

Engine mount? I had a leak on the floor on my GLE 63s coupe and it ended up being the engine mount on the passenger side.

I just became aware of a part on GLEs, E Class and S-Class, called a thrust link bearing, filled with hydraulic fluid. Or Lower Control arm bushing.
