Idea on this issue? Leaking and lots of build up.

It it gear oil or brake fluid? I would check the brake caliper seals if brake fluid. If gear oil, you have a bad axle seal. It's probably the axle seal

Darker fluid for sure.

You can determine which by the smell. The two smell very different.

Looks like it’s this. Same deal with mine.

And feel very different between thumb and finger.

Huge thread here already on right rear axle seal leaks for 2021 models. Post your pic and your date of build (on door sticker) in that thread. They are tracking RIGHT REAR axle leaks in that thread.

If it's NOT axle lube, if it's brake fluid, then there's another thing going on.

Anyway, take this to that thread because they're tracking these things here. So far, only certain build dates for 2021 models and only right rear axle seal - again, assuming it is what it looks like.
And - contact your dealer ASAP!!! You have a serious safety issues there as any contamination on the brake pads is potentially very dangerous!
IF I was you, I'd not mess about trying to find a solution on the web - high-tail it to a dealer, show them, get it on record, get parts ordered. And if there's an accident because of brake failure - it's recorded you complained about it.

Do you smell sulfer or rotten egg? Mine just started smelling like it but i dont have a check engine light or that. Going in thurs day for my issues, i dont know what could be messing up my cat but i hope its all related because im having a detonation issue too. Maybe running rich? Causing the cat to get clogged? But i dont smell gas in the engine bay or cabin. Not too worried, have 54k to go on the warranty. Honestly, i would rather have a big issue so they replace the engine versus small issues that they dont know whats causing the problem or saying its normal. Just my opinion.
