    So it was coming out the diff vent. I’m not sure why. But all the seals looked fine. Cv was seated. Diff was still full of fluid.

    Normal. Especially if you added an ARB.

    It will come out for a bit until it gets to the right level. Some have added a catch can of sorts on the breather line.

    It's coming from the breather up in the engine bay? Or it wasn't reconnected correctly, and it's leaking out of the nipple on top of the differential?

    How much did you fill it with oil? When I first filled my diff from being dry, a little leaked out from the axle seals. Then it leveled off and I was fine.

    From the breather up top.
    The shop filled it after the gears.checked the level and it was pretty much spot on. So I’m thinkin it was just leveling out

    I suspect the issue comes from the volume that is taken up from the much thicker ring gear. Made worse with an ARB. Therefore the stock oil capacity is not correct.

    It will more or less self regulate. You'll loose a few ounces, and then it will stop.

    I agree with @Squeaky Penguin. Mine leaks out of the vent too, then it stops when it's at a happy level.
