Rear diff leak?

[KentuckyCatFan]

Has anyone had any issue their rear diff leaking?

I have not been off- road, not run over anything- and have noticed a leak under rear end at around 700 miles

Have droplets actually formed or is it just staining? Went through a similar issue with my JL and unless actual droplets are forming, they do not consider it a leak for warranty purposes.

I checked this morning in the light- I do not think it’s the diff at all...
Seems to be from exhaust system area a few feet up before you get to the diff...

could a lot of condensation cause some puddles?

I caught the exhaust leaking in the pictures...

Condensation from the exhaust is normal. When I first got mine l got concerned about a drip coming off the transmission until I got under the vehicle while running and found the AC drip line is right over the trans. Do have a question if anyone else has found the factory headliner on the passenger side of the freedom tops not to be secured except in the middle of the panel? I have checked with my dealer and they suggested I wait until my first oil change and they will correct the headliner but will need it all day.

Yes, no need to worry. Condensation happens when the temperature inside your tailpipe, warm engine exhaust gas, is different from the outside air temp. All is normal, just making rain inside your tailpipe.

I do not have headliners just the 3 piece hard top- but mine is seated well and not leaking... I have heard others have had issues.

That was a good photo catch of the exhaust system leaking water.

Well Done

My rear differential cover is staining around the filler hole. I tightened the bolt.
