For cryen out loud, @DAEMANO ....... it's just barely a smudge of oil on the axle. It's not like its dripping and all the oil is going to gush out of the differential .....

@slyphen, I suggest you just keep an eye on it and if it gets worse, have the seal replaced.

If you do it yourself (see the video) there is a chance that you will mess up and make things worse.

If you take it to a dealer, there is a good chance they will give you a bunch of grief about your car being lowered.

Keep in mind that this advice is coming from ol humfrz ....... who back in the day bought his daughter a junk 1978 Toyota Celica to drive. I made her park in the gravel beside the driveway because it had a bad oil leak at the front of the engine. Did I fix it .. ?? Noooo, ...... it was easier and cheaper just to put a quart of cheap oil in it every week.
