Bad Axle Seal?

[Jeepy]

I found a leak while under the truck, it looks like a blown axle seal but the fluid “oil” is pooling to the right of the knuckle on a part I have no idea what it is, the wheel is also covered in oil.

2022 altitude 3.6 1600 miles. Any help what this might be?

Looks like it's leaking out of the front axle disconnect as well as the end of the axle tube, but a bad inner axle seal is the root cause of the leak. Oil shouldn't be making it out into the axle tube at all.

Looks like a trip to the dealer is in your future.
