So last week, my 2015 Mustang GT hit the 25,000 mile mark. I took it to my buddy's shop (he also owns a 2015 GT and is on this forum) to get an oil change, transmission fluid change, and diff fluid change.
While the car was up on the lift and they were doing the oil change, I was walking around the rear of the car and noticed this "wet" spot/area on the bottom of the diff housing. This obviously had me a bit concerned. My mechanic didn't think it was too big of a deal and said his GT which has 5,000 miles, also has it though not as bad. Still, it's been bugging me a bit and I figured I'd post about it here to see what people think. Is this normal? Should I take it in under warranty?
I believe the actual culprit for the leak is the halfshafts. There is definitely nothing "pouring" or dripping out. It must just be seeping out gradually over time.
The car has a completely stock drivetrain. This wet spot was noticed prior to the diff fluid being changed and it's obvious that it's old.
