I was performing an oil change on the vehicle. As soon as I crawled under it to start, I noticed the right side of the front differential where the axle tube mates, was covered in diff oil. I took the vehicle to the dealer and was told it was "normal seepage". I find it hard to believe a gasket can only hold fluid for less than 6000 miles before leaking. Dealer refused to correct it.
